Loved it - I really should get my two lathes back up and running, oh and my home built milling machine finished off .....
My first love was mechanical engineering with electronics a very close second.
My big must-haves are, metal working lathe, welder, and oscilloscope. A milling machine/shaper were simply a bridge too far for me.
But, although I have owned various lathes, I never got them running to be used as a tool. I recently gave away a model maker's lathe, in bits.
A friend gave me a welder that he inherited from his Dad, but it was a monster designed for stainless steel shop fittings and was simply too powerful for normal use. My missus became quite unreasonable when it melted the wall socket in the kitchen so, in the end, I gave the welder to a guy that makes boat anchors (he also has a high current supply).
I do have a large engineer's vice, pillar drill, and gas torch, plus the usual hand tools though.
I looked into getting a man's anvil, but was surprised how expensive they are now.
I also do a bit of woodworking and have got a router, woodworking vice, planes etc.
And I do have a decent scope.
But, at the moment, no workshop.

PS: any pictures of your equipment?
