Looks in good shape! To make chips, or just to be used as a very heavy paperweight?

 

[Collector]

Just need to find a couple belts and rewire the motor figure something for the motor mount. Possibly a historical paper weight.

Gotta be AI, we wouldn't have a keyway cutter that big on the island and how could anyone believe a shop that stuffed yet so clean.

Thats quite the shop. The steam locomotive caught my eye. Just wondering, what general part of the country is this located in? I've heard about a locomotive guy in Alberta, Edmonton area? with CNC equipment. Like, real big boy stuff. Never met him personally but a buddy was going to try & arrange a walk-through tour one day. You dont have to say his name or reveal details, I was just curious.

Oh to have the space for a shop like that.
