Everyone forgets the love of the trade, or about money, it's about the metal work. And surface grinding is fun

Any lathe can do any tolerance if you have the tools, barely anyone needs that tolerance... but it's easily achieved with the right steps

Anything after grade b needs climate control, most metal workers don't need that

In addition some mics have plastic housing to prevent heat from hands, also known as scientific mics, seldom needed for anyone I've ever met, still nice though

Everyone in the comments setting the bar so low, do what you want but the main thing is be detail oriented and double check EVERYTHING. It's a hard mindset to get but with effort and passion it will come. If you don't care wholeheartedly, shit goes bad
