Thread: A Bit of Lotto Fun

What tools do they allow on an around the world cruise ship.

I would just like to buy some time so that I can
get out in the shed more often.

If there is any money left over I would hire
a security firm to hide it from the missus.

Oh yeah, and I'd gold plate my pfeil 14mm fishtail,
or maybe get one made in solid gold,
probably lose its edge a bit quick, but I could get heaps of em.

generator so i can run my power tools on the beach where i would be spending every day of my life.

my own furniture company, so i can happily run a business without worrying about loosing money, or gaining massive profits.

To be brutally honest - NOTHING. I'd be spending the next few years travelling. Come on, how many of you really would make buying tools, equipment , sheds, etc a priority if you had $50 million? Think about it really really hard. $50 MILLION!!!!

Then again, maybe I'd buy an ocean going yacht.

Do you know how much wood I can buy with $50 mil? Probably will wipe out the whole Huon supply without even going through half the money. With the money left over there probably enough to buy the whole of Tasmania with it!

Or should I do it the other way and buy all of Tasmania first? then the Huon should come free. You could probably buy a few islands in Burma as well with the left over money and cut all the Teak you want!

Oh! if only I won the lottery!

tablesaw
bandsaw
jointer
1.5m planner
1.5m drum sander
pererson 10" wpf
sheds
brisbane forest park
biggest and best of each or maby a big and small one of each

then id buy a huge property up north and run cattle and an enourmous workshop.

do you have to buy a ticket to win?

btw 2 metres extra on the shed would be nice, and ...

probably buy a few islands in Burma as well with the left over money and cut all the Teak you want!

Nah mate, over here its cheap... @ $500 -$800 per cube... I'm getting sick of it.

true!

money is the root of all evil....whoever said that, was right on the mark...sure it would buy lots of fancy equipment, tools and do daa's, but it could not replace the care of a hand worked piece ....a hundred years ago, fine furniture craftsmen had no fancy gear, and today we look in awe at their work...so for me a pile of cash has no thrill, I would rather be dirt poor and up to my eyeballs in debt ( who isnt), and be happy with the piece I put together with my own two hands .....after all ....thats what its all about isnt it?..

I would contemplate your philosophy whilst sipping on a cold one during the cruise I would take.
