a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new
equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a
machine shop of his own who was about to retire and
move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school
and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools.
I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his
big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well they
were treasures!
I decided to put his entire machine shop in our
basement, but there we two problems. One, his
shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was
no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and
the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds,
