Just checking in to say hello folks.
As I was thinking what to say the smiley folks say it for me...

I've got it in a very bad way.
I still play with motorcycles (I think i have 14)
I make steam engine models from bar stock to teach myself machining techniques.
I also collect machine tools (Mostly old stuff that still works)
1898 Hendey universal Mill
1952 Southbend 13
1943 War board Southbend 9A fully loaded. my shop workhorse.
1960 Round ram short table M-head
1967 Big table J-Head
19?? Induma Mill (outside )
1922 Dalton Six lathe
I also have a problem being a tool-a-holiic. You know shop tools, upstairs garage tools, outside shed tools, service truck tools, ummm....roadbox tools.
Oh yeah, spare tools, sacrificial cheap tools used for making ...... well more tools. I'm sure we all get the picture. (I'm hoping to get some support here, as some of you just might share the same symtoms of the same types of disease.)
I like to restore antique machanical things. (like my '46 Farmall "A"), and a '47 International stationary "B" engine.
And modify others, like my 1949 Hough Loader 4x4 repowered with it's Chevy 400 CID small block and turbo 400 tranny. (Goes faster than it really needs to,BTW).
Unfortunately, this leaves me with a very nice house that looks like it was built at a junk yard.
I'm looking for some support in dealing with these topics in my life. Will this support group help me? Please?.
Thanks, Mike
