New to me, Lathe, floor standing pillar drill, vertical Mill and tool cutter/grinder. And then a whole small machine shop worth of bits, cutting tools, bench grinders etc.
All part of the greater plan!
Here’s some big bits.

Becoming a father? Getting into the dad spirit?

I love mine, used the dongle for my personal machine and then the Bluetooth for my work laptop, super useful so you don't need two keyboards on your desk.I bought an overpriced typing deck, that was less overpriced thanks to the latest prime day thing. It's really nice to type with

I already own one!
I want to open my own car restoration/ fabrication place in a few years time. So slowly building up my collection
Bought some new bikes for my kids, moving up from balance bikes and kiddie bikes it seems. (Sorry for lame picture, just quickly dumped them in the gym for now till I can get a rack up somewhere)
They're into these types of bikes quicker than I expected, and not knowing much about bikes I got some professionals in a bike shop (Summit Cycles in Aberystwyth) to choose them and build them to my kids height etc.
So my 3 year old is on the red 16" Frog 44 and my 4 year old is on a 20" Frog 55... never heard of them before but the quality seems great!
They are into some big kids Specialised helmets too! I'm raising monsters
Going to be a fun summer! Have to teach my 4 year old about gears now...

Wow you have big kids! Either that or the folks at the bike shop stitched you up
Frog seem to have a good name, but they better do at that price point.
My 5 y/o has outgrown his, but isn't tall enough for a 20". Don't want to drop £££ on a silly inbetween size.

I got my 4 year old daughter a 20” Frog after working in bike shops I saw they’re fantastic, much lighter than most others out there. They’re pricy tho, so I got mine second hand and they seem to hold their value so I don’t expect to lose any money on it.
Haha quite possible! hahaha nah, my boys both sat on each and they got on and off comfortably as well as feeling balanced on tippy-toes so fingers crossed all good and will last a good few years (well, the 55 anyway, 44 will probably be sold in a year or twoWow you have big kids!

)That's good to hear, I've done a bit more reading and they do seem to be a quality UK brand.
Have you had a look at the second hand market?
Oh cool, that's encouraging to hear. They're really light and still solid as well as being comfortable for my boys so all in all persuaded me to splash a little.
However, I've just seen the average prices of the 55 and 44 online and I paid a bit less than those as they were having a sale in the shop - so the Frog 44 was £328 and the Frog 55 was £369 (down from £370ish and £410ish respectively iirc), then they discounted the helmets 50% because we bought two bikes which was nice

Frog fan here too just bought our third for my little boy. Hydraulic discs and front shock designed for child’s weight, perfect bike for him

My sons turning 4 soon and I'm looking for a lightweight pedal bike to upgrade to. Lighter the better for kids, easier to learn on and live with. Not sure £350 is reasonable mind you, but most brands worth considering seem to be in the same ball park.

I think that's the way to go with kids bikes, that way the cost to replace as they grow is pretty minimal and you can regularly increase sizes, rather than sticking with too small bikes for too long due to the replacement cost.

£2.59, I wanted it for one specific sketch which I've not been able to find anywhere else in any kind of decent quality.
Thanks for this! I bought this last week for my standing desk (work) and had not considered I could use it on my gaming PC and just have the one keyboard. Thanks!!!!
