A flux capacitor.

3 phase.
My dads vice, there's 2 somewhere but damned if I can find them
LOL Rat, about 6 or 7 transit vans towing caravans passed me yesterday on the Deeside road. Drivers wearing wife beater vests and a couple of low loaders with 'tarmacing' equipment.
A better 3G signal.
I miss having a breadmaker in my workshop actually - start it up on arrival. Work with the smell of baking bread and then its ready for lunch. Slice with a panel saw.
Unfortunately an incident with some boards falling over sort of parallelagrammed it and I've never gotten around to replacing it.
Moving into a new workshop next week that has a 150 year old forge. Wondering how well it might double as a pizza oven.

Any of the stuff in [url= http://12-gaugegarage.com ]this garage[/url] would be great.
A competent bike mechanic.
someone to tidy up after me...
Thermic lance
a bandsaw and a Mig welder.
A henry hoover just for me.
Wish i had a workshop..
A bridgeport cnc mill
A cnc lathe
Dita von teese.. to make the teas.. etc
Juanking - thatll be the rest of them. Every 1 in the north east is in a field about quarter mile from the house..... They had a party and a bonfire last night.
A plasma cutter
A Bandsaw
A bridgeport cnc mill
A cnc lathe
Luckily for me I've got both of these at work and am allowed to do 'foreigners' from time to time...
Bridgeport XR with 5th Axis (5 of them)
Mazak SQT200 with driven tooling 🙂
It's one advantage of being in engineering. I tend to do most of my bike stuff at work as we've got all the tools and plenty of space to do it in. Oh, and I get paid while I'm doing it as the machines are 'running'
A full set of metal working gear and the skill yo use it. First i must master wood!
A Morticer.....oh and Kaley Couco 😆
I'm looking forward to having a workshop but when I do (July), I want a nice big press in there. I'll be fixing a number of BB's and wheels once I do.
4 Headed Pillar Drill
Lathe
Bandsaw
..Never realised how much I used them until they were gone. 😐
Pillar drill, bench grinder and lathe.
Stevied..
When i was in engineering i too made plenty of 'homers'
Trouble is now that i dont have access to mill or lathe i still have plenty of stuff i want to make.
🙁
My next acquisitions will be Router and Router table....
But the list is pretty endless, I suspect I'll still be buying stuff for years to 'complete' the workshop.....
Jennifer Aniston. All nice and tied up.
Bridport, and massive £100,000 bench dyno.
and a 911
ooh, just remember something else I want is a regulated benchtop DC power supply. Are there cheap ones out there?

Yep if you don't need high current. I have a cheap one from Maplin.
I only need a couple of amps.
this would do it.

It's useful to have a current read out, so you can see what's going on.
A magic bike stacking thing that prevents pedal-spoke entanglement.
An absolute mint Mk2 Golf 16 valve.
