Tom, Sorry to hear you are having problems with your vision.
I have had a few "issues" there myself. Still have one solid peeper so fingers crossed,

Thanks for the sympathy, Paul,..

But they trashed both of mine; My career as a machinist is over.

Need to liquidate.

Tom, thanks for sharing the checklist.
Much food for thought there.
Having the skill required to perform the tasks is the problem.

As well as an arsenal of machinery and tooling, Scott,.

Mine will likely be scrap.
