We need to add on.

@Oldmanmopar I've spent a lot of my life with Bridgeport milling machines but never one so clean and purdy. Did have digital readout, power feed drives, and got paid too.
I don't miss the labor as much as I miss the mind that was capable.
That stove is eye candy too. Thanks for sharing

My son completely rebuild the bridgport. It took him One week. We have several for parts so every thing was here. He removed the old DRO a new one is on it way. The bed mill is in use but as you see the series two needs to be hooked up. He is setting it up for installing seats and guides. A fixture he is working on to hold Hemi heads.

He drove to Angolia pa for the Peterson hone. When he got there he found out it was a Mopar Machine shop. He bought a fixture to fix/true and install bronzes lifter bore.

My son is freinds with Ray and David Barton. Their bed mill is always tied up for months. I know he is planning a mega block build and don't trust anyone but himself. The only problem with machinists is everything they do has to be perfect. If he was to build a house every board would be within a thousandths. When he sees me Eyeballing things he terminates my
job station and sends me packing. Here are a couple more of the jammed garage
