Nothing says 'I love you' like a two speed pillar drill with a 2" chuck.

I needed more room in the garage so built a workshop at the bottom of the garden, now I need more room in that too! Neither has room for even a small milling machine & my lathe has to live under the workbench - perhaps a frame outdoors will allow me to use it without a week clearing space... |

"Machine tools, e.g. lathes, milling machines, bench saws, drills, etc" seems a bit skewed towards the hobbyist male if you don't mind my saying so! I have no such items, nor access to any, nor any desire to acquire them, nor room to put them if I should.
How's your collection of crochet hooks, darning needles, embroidery yarns? (Not that I have many of those either come to think of it!)
My suggestions might include:
Tilt (or shift!)
Contre jour
Heat
Fish and chips (!)
Handbags and gladrags
Rainbow of colours

I have 'proper' skewers for the job but find a knitting needle is easier to 'read'. |
