Howdy Guys:

I thought you might enjoy some shots of our antique and cluttered machine shop! Warren told me he would quit if I hauled anymore machines home. I did not tell him that I just closed a deal on a really handsome Rockwell shaper!!! If you guys don't tell him I won't!!!! lol I just took these shots this morning. The Niles Boring Mill spindle is in the Poreba Roll Lathe:

Always like to look. Thanks for the pictures. You have plenty of room for more machines.You don't have to climb over one to get to another machine yetThough actually fixing anything then might be a problem Any room to add on? Cat

Feels like home........

Let no flat surface remain naked.
I worked in a shop in the 80's where the maintainance guy made a
cover for his bench shaped like a dog-house.
Put just enough incline on it that no object could keep from sliding off.
