CRASH

 Apparently, when I was working out where and how to mount my over-built DIY collet rack, I must have assumed I would never have it cranked up and all the way back?  Never assume.

when two ships pass in the night...
and they love each other very much...

 At some point in the past, I actually bent the base/mounting part of the collet rack by hitting it here, while cranking the table and being too focused on the work -- but the collets are springy half-hard temper and no apparent damage was done to either motor or collet.  Even so, um, stupid?

 At some point in the future, I gotta cut up the mount and re-jigger it with some diagonal bits, moving the rack 4in higher but also I need to remove the base plate that mounts to the mill and pound it flat again before re-welding everything, because last time I let a couple welds shrink and it bent that plate out of flat and made the whole thing slightly wobbly.

 I seem to spend all my time fixing my tools instead of using them.

 And it's time to admit that I am straight-up miserable at welding.  Part is lack of tooling, part is lack of training / watching YT videos. <_<  But manage warping I cannot.

 And in the basement, a complete little 3D printing lab with all the toys, still languishes all alone, waiting for me to play with it.
 
 I heard once that you can make stuff with a shop. Some day I'd like to try that. 👽
