No offense taken Seafire, I grew up poor, have one kid in college and another planning to go in a year so things are a little tight. I don’t throw anything away and have realized I can’t throw time away either, it’s worth way more than the money. The annealer will save me time that I can spend with my family, and being an older parent (was 40 when daughter was born), it’s worth spending a few hundred bucks. And the way inflation is going, it’s probably a good investment.
Haven’t had time to run the annealer yet, my daughter and I have been working on a project and it’s requiring my redneck woodworking skills and lots of time…
