I call it "Fred". (Ooh! OOh! that's an old drillpress! OOh! an old
bandsaw. Oh, Wow! Lots of good stuff in here!)

Nope, don't know what it's like at all.

Seriously, I have far too many machines already, ten lathes, two
surface grinders, three mills. six drillpresses, and the list goes on.
It's what happens when an old machine develops puppy dog eyes. Can't
seem to leave short pieces of barstock or any plate with usable size
to it, it has to find a home, and my basement looks like home.
