Wow... Is this some kind of a club house? My whole apartment is only 114 sqm (or 1227sq ft)....

Envy envy envy....

That's one heck of a nice dog house.

It would be nice to be rich or at least have an unlimited supply of money and time. tom

Thanks for the nice comments. The machines started slow in the garage around '95. I would pick up older machines and when I had time worked on learning to restore them. The little Hardinge cataract mill was first, then the 2nd op Hardinge lathe.. then the Hardinge TL. A helpful book when learning to scrap is called "Machine Tool Reconditioning". Here are pics from the house garage shop that was getting tight.

No wonder you guys cannot find any Old Iron - ToolCat has it all!

Nice set up and nice machines.

I couldn't get my machines to look like that with PHOTOSHOP!

Toolcat, you must have scraping down to a science. Anyone I know who's tried scraping a machine ending up spending years on just one machine to do it right. You have several lifetimes worth of scraping completed in those photos! Very impressive! I can't do this thread justice, but when I get home I'll snap some pics of my little shop.

That is machine porn
