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.
