What should I make while I still can?

[trowel]

I found out a couple of weeks ago that my department at work is to be closed in July and moved to Turkey. Suppose the good news is they said everyone will still have a job, but probably on the production line. I currently work as a toolmaker with access to all sorts of machines, cnc lathes, cnc mills, laser cutters, edm machines etc. I've always took for granted being able to just make any little bit when i need it and it has just hit me that I wont be able to do that any more. I know as soon as I leave I'll have lots of bits, that I could of made. So my question is what bits would you make for your van if you could?

Bad luck luck mate, I'm a toolmaker myself and went from working for a firm that had all the machines you could ever need to make anything, to a moulding firm that has the very basic bits of kit and no materials to make anything out of.

Good luck for the future.
