A man cannot fail with a good wife behind him!!! or good friends 
. She found a old watchmakers bench and another unimat lathe for me for our anniversary The bench was falling apart 😯 and had a cheesy top on it, no door, and partially stripped. Was able to make a door to somewhat match, tear it apart and re-glue. make a top, felt line the drawers, stain and finish, rebuild the catch, for 40 bucks and some time, WHALLAH, a pretty nice set up I think Thanks to a beautiful woman A few tools I recently acquired and from a wonderful person that is active on this forum, a book and several watch works to practice on.
