Thanks for the nice comments. The machines started slow in the garage around '95. I would pick up older machines and when I had time worked on learning to restore them. The little Hardinge cataract mill was first, then the 2nd op Hardinge lathe.. then the Hardinge TL. A helpful book when learning to scrap is called "Machine Tool Reconditioning". Here are pics from the house garage shop that was getting tight.
