I wasn’t there but if someone built a time machine to go back to 73 to all that 
stuff – I’d definitely be the 1st in line!

 Back 1973 I built my first Zinc sulfur rocket using only a file, hacksaw, 
saber saw, power drill and a buzz box welder. Flew it at the MTA with the RRS.
 Now I have 3 cnc mills, 5 cnc lathes, 15 automatic lathes and all the support 
equipment. But no time to work on rockets.

My most used equipment for my rocket stuff:

Band Saw(s)
Largish Lathe (close 2nd)
CNC Mill (close 3rd)
Linishing wheel & belt.
Hand Tools

We have about new 6-8 welders here, but I can't weld well enough to utilise 
them well.
