Set your "Goals" first...Decide how much you want..where and WHY...
THEN, buy and build the equipment to reach those goals...rather than just throw a whole bunch of stuff in there and "try" to balance it after the fact...

Ran a 5/8" drill bit through my hand went to the Dr's and they said it was cool and 2 weeks later hand and arm swelled bigger than my thigh and had blood poisioning and they couldn't stop or isolate the infection. That Saturday they wanted to take just my hand, and I kept buying time and on Monday they wanted to take my whole arm, because the swelling kept getting worse and gang green was starting to set into the web of my hand between my thumb and pointer finger..... Then they finally decided to switch medications and go to a sulphur based drug and the **it did the job... Got to keep the hand which I couldn't imagine being without, but had to spend another 2 weeks in a arm cast to keep my thumb imobilized to concentrate the medication on the area.... Just getting the use of the hand again!!!!!! Word of advice!!!!! Watch what your drilling... It actually didn't hurt going through, but coming back out did and the hospital was the worst part :mad:
