I use one of these at work a lot. It was built during the second world war and still runs as smooth or better than any newer lathe I've used. It's about 10 feet long, 3 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall.

It also has a matching manual mill that's the same colour (green) that works just as good called the Milwaukee, but I can't find any pictures.

Sweet!


I have to ad my two favorites. These two machines are responsible so much of today's technology it's just silly.

The Bridgeport Mill:

OK, the DRO isn't a classic, but it was in the picture.

and The Hardinge Lathe:

The things a skilled toolmaker can do with these machines is just amazing. Unfortunately there aren't many of those guys left.

No I really don't have anything against hairdryers, although I myself don't run one. My engine and wallet aren't set up for one.

But at the shop we recently sold our single turbo smallblock S-10 (that ran 7.50's) and are building a twin turbo 68 Camaro. Should run middle sixes with no problem.

And zac2944, I atleast had the balls to post pics of something i actually own, drive, and make payments on. I'd like to see what you are rolling in.

Would you really? Would it help your balls to know that your car is nicer than mine? I don't drive anything as cool as a Cobalt, so I'm not going to post about it in a "testosterone toys" thread. There is nothing testosterone about my car.

Look, I'm not starting a war. I just don't like having my possessions disrespected. I'm sure you feel the same way about your belongings. like my original post states, "this is MY personal testosterone toy". That is what i have to have my fun in. It may not be your cup of tea, but it is what i have. Just looking to be respected equally.

After all, I could have bought a old rice burner with a fart can. If that was the case, then flame away!:)
