Thanks. It is contraption. But is my first mill, so I don't know the difference. I'll attach photos of my very first part I made on it, this past year--an end fitting for a 4" sailboat boom, to my own design. I made everything but the (2) off the shelf plastic sheaves. To prevent the stainless axle from turning, its cap sits in a milled recess and is press fitted onto the axle, then tig welded. A machine screw retains it.

Heard a story about a machinist dying and being revived. He said he kept following a blinding light down this unbelievably long white corridor. When he finally got to the end he saw God running his Index mill.
