“It doesn’t always have to be fancy”
I did a post about the business we bought the X-Carve to start. In four months we paid off the X-Carve as well as the initial tools that we bought to start our shop (table saw, miter saw, air compressor and nail guns). Now, a year later we’ve also bought and paid for a benchtop belt/disc sander, drill press, bandsaw, shop air filter along with all of our miscellaneous tools and bits, etc. all from this initial business. My newest toy just got setup last week, we bought a drum sander because we just had our second kid and are trying to cut down on hand-sanding time.
Hopefully at some point I can find some time to use it as a hobby machine and start knocking some “fun” projects off my wish-list.
