Thanks for the pictures/link!

That all looks very familiar. My first job was in a shipyard machine shop, we had many of the very same machines and similar ones. Even the building looked about the same, there were 4 of those long tall bays, about 5 acres under roof.

Grigg, should I rally the troops? Are you thinking of a few additions for your shop? We can do it!

Would like another Brown & Sharpe or a nice #3 Cincinnati vertical mill and a tad bigger and longer Lodge & Shipley lathe, but no rush as I need to find room for them still.
Oddly enough I think I'm all set for drill presses though wink
