It's seen its century of work so far, I'm guessing. Think how much it would cost to replace a block or three of Interstate-5 when that Gorton dropped through onto it, hmm? -- We're all here because we're not all there. |

Mine has much thinner 1" plywood in it, and only a single axle. That belongs to the guy who I got the mill from. After that photo was taken, I found him enough near new 2x8s to redo the bottom and a full sheet of 1/4" plate to give it some skin. Free. I got it for him, and helped him change it out and set it up. Thats one of the reasons he brought me the mill and the press, 97 miles north, one way. Friends help out friends. And when he left..he left with all sorts of stuff. 5-6 Drill chucks, a case of new surface grinder wheels, 8" lathe chucks... etc etc shrug Few people come to my house and leave empty. G Gunner -- "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |
