That's very generous of you Eric! I would like cash in a plain envelope please…

PS Seriously though, I would ask for a better DRO for my mill.

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

A Tardis-style storage box to keep all my junk in

[Jon LawesParticipant @jonlawes51698]

I'd buy mentoring and self confidence!

[JourneymanParticipant @journeyman]

I'll go for enthusiasm and perseverance! (But a new 3D printer would go down well at the moment, mine is still in bits pending an upgrade)

John

[Fowlers FuryParticipant @fowlersfury]

Injectable WD40 for my finger joints.

[pgk pgkParticipant @pgkpgk17461]

I'll say. Mine never does that – it only hides stuff in plain sight, protected by a special spell so that I don't see it even if I can…

I thought they were all like that?

[Mark Gould 1Participant @markgould1]

Angle plates, 1,2,3 blocks, cutting fluid, a nice P&B chuck, a nice rotary table, a welding course, another Stuart set of castings, beter LED lighting, an airconditioning system for the garage, a set of Mitutoyo micrometers, a set of pin gauges, a nice gauge blck set, a surface plate, a height gauge, a quality set of Dormer drills and/or reamers……..

[I.M. OUTAHEREParticipant @i-m-outahere]

3D taster or a universal boring and facing head , a Wohlhaupter would be nice though 500 sqiud wont get near it !

Gear cutters , broaches and milling cutters are always welcome .

[mechman48Participant @mechman48]

£500; WOW! I should be so lucky … now let me think on that … … decisions, decisions, oh dear…

George.

[ChrisHParticipant @chrish]

See your shed pixies Mick – mine are little people – do the exact same as my lot. I reckon they are building something but I've no idea what………

[Mike E.Participant @mikee-85511]

A set of gear cutters would be nice.

[Mark RandParticipant @markrand96270]

£500 worth of floor space.

[HopperParticipant @hopper]

A shade sail so I can step outside the shed onto the concrete driveway and do welding and grinding in summer without getting scorched.

Should buy you enough space to stand a drill bit on its end 😁

[HillclimberParticipant @hillclimber]

That really is quite a lot of beer…..

[mark costello 1Participant @markcostello1]

Yes but You are only renting it.

Wise decision giving you the room to house next year's £500 present.

[Howard LewisParticipant @howardlewis46836]

+1 for more space. Although that would result in more shelves and flat surfaces to load even more stuff!

Oh to dream!

Hope you are getting a matching ‘flat hat’ as well, saves you getting black greasy fingerprints on your head when you scratch it
