What’s the next best thing to visiting Keith Rucker’s shop in Georgia or Clarke Easterling’s foundry in Mississippi? Getting Keith and Clark to visit MY shop in Ohio!
What an honor it was to have @vintagemachinery and @clarkeeasterling67 stop by. They were passing through the Cleveland area and I was able to arrange a tour for them of the @midwestrailwaypreservation down at the old B&O roundhouse. While they were here, they accepted my invitation to see my small shop and how Keith has been an inspiration to me on my journey to being a machinist. I cannot thank them enough!

Finally able to put a 25% no exclusions coupon to work. Picked up this Yukon 9 drawer cabinet. Using it mostly for storing tooling for the K&T horizontal mill, but there’s some other stuff in it as well. The red cabinet next to it used to hold these items and to say I overloaded it would be an understatement.
Making chips.
I need a bigger bad saw.
