Kenny, you are still young. I was 69 & a half when I bought my first lathe.
2 years later I had built a garden railway & was starting my second steam
engine, I'm just finishing No. 13 & have 3 more to build, then I can get on
with other projects. I still grow all our veg & soft fruit & have a 40ft
greenhouse. I have slowed down mainly due to my wife being frail & assisting
her.As Phill says train the family, an essential requirement is a daughter.
To see some of the things we have done look at my website. steeeeem.co.uk
