Bought A Knee Mill-Looking for Ideas

Ok guys, So I bought a Knee Mill to make a bracket for another project I was working on, now its just sitting there. I made my own brackets for my belt system, but want to make other stuff. What do you guys have for Ideas for parts for our cars I could make that nobody offers? Any Input would be great!

Thanks,
Mark

This is kinda like saying "I bought a car; what can I do with it?" The possibilities are limitless. First off, what kind of knee mill? Bed or Turret? Not all are made equal. Second, what kind of tooling do you have for this mill? There are a ton of things that I can think to make with a rotary vise on a rather small table. Third, how much machining have you done?

I have an idea too but may be better suited for a lathe. Sending a PM
