But if you look at Hoss's machine, man I bet he has 15K in that beast and almost that in hours.

Not even close, if you look at what I buy and give links to it's generally the lower cost items, no kurts, not everything is starett, what good tooling I have is from my days on the job, new things for the 0704 were more economical. My time on this stuff is seriously no more than 10 hours a week on average so about 2000 hrs since I got the 0704 and don't forget to subtract time spent on 3d printing and videos. I do spend time planning and designing so when I go to make something I'm not wasting time making scrap, I hate to have to make a part twice but it happens to all of us.
