Actually my milling machine is from that yard. The lathe I was
thinking about was in the Madison St scrap yard. They don't let me
walk around at the Triple M yard anymore, apparantly someone got hurt
and sued. Since the price of scrap has gone up so much the yards don't
keep so much old machinery on hand anymore. I am a mechanical engineer
and make most of my living by designing machines for auto part
factories but part of my business involves building small things in my
shop. My hobby is going to the scrap yards on Saturday morning looking
for interesting stuff to salvage.

Out of curiosity

If you see another small mill in the area suitable for a home shop could
you holler? youre within truck and trailer distance from Ottawa and
there really is no manufactiring going on up here compared to southern
ontario (automotive) or even northern ontario (mining) Its odd when
there are more welding shops in the city you grow up in thats 1/8th the
size of the city youre in now.
