I got a 21" swing lathe lodge and Shipley for. $700 bucks on eBay because the dc motor did not work. I just put a ac motor in they I got for $30 on eBay the year before. Have never made a cut yet that it even slowed down

I'm with ya fellas. My truck is 2000lbs over weight and I am still adding to the collection. I cant stop!

I'm afraid to weight mine. Think the lube skid will put me over the top .

I still got a couple thousand pounds to go before I'm overweight. The nice d.o.t lady told me that during our 45 minute interrogation, oops Meant conversation.

Nearly 20 years ago, I bought a gap bed railroad lathe, I've moved it three times and this last time its now in its final home, took us three days to figure out how to get it there which was last summer, still don't have it hooked up yet though, been too busy. Shops and service trucks are never big enough to hold all of what one has or wants to have.

A long time ago, I was buying large older machines from a guy who had a phrase I'll never forget, he claimed he was a "collector and connoisseur of antiquated antiquities" his wife called him a junk dealer who bought and sold scrap equipment, guess its all in the perspective of how you view one's "stuff".

Hi, my name is Judd, and I too, have a problem. I start to think that I am getting better and then the Snap-On man shows up, and I fall off the wagon again. Like others have said you can't have too many tools. I keep a ton of Chinese wrenches around so that I can heat, bend, and cut them into the shape I need. I will also never get rid of an old tool box. No matter how bent up they are. I just keep them at home to put the tools that I know I will probably never need again in.

That's like the difference between an airplane and a "gentleman's aeronautical conveyance" ..................
