And if you need something else to buy, take a look at the laser welder, cutter, and cleaner. These allow you to weld steel, stainless, aluminum, and more. They are not super heavy duty but can cover a lot of things.

This might be last nudge I need to pulling the trigger on an industrial sewing machine My wife is all-in on the idea, so now it's a matter of either finding a good used machine or finding the budget for a new Sailrite. We're currently building a bouldering / climbing cave in our basement, and next up is making the crash pads which would also benefit from an industrial sewing machine. We're not having a hard time justifying this purchase!

As it has been mentioned before, we all do a fantastic job of spending each others money!! No complaints on my part, I love having more tools at my disposal.

As for that laser, welder, cutter, and cleaner?... Exceptionally cool, but harder to justify since we already have a TIG welder, and I have access to a CNC laser at work.
