I just had to tell someone out there who appreciates fine machinery.... I just brought home my first Bridgeport!!! I hope you don't think this is a waste of good forum space but my wife and kids (who are very tolerant of my exploits) just don't seem to share in my excitement so I needed a kindred soul. If I could figure out how to post a pic, I would. I suppose that it looks like any other BP to most, except this is MINE!!! It was a 25 year wait and, oh, was it worth it! Thanks for understanding! I just had to vent a little.
