Seriously, that is really neat, I'd like to have a chance to work with a machine like that. It seems to me that the "old timers" really knew how to build their equipment, most of the older machinery (at least all I've ever come in contact with) is very tough, high quality stuff, especially considering the time and tools with which they were made.
Speaking of which, does anybody know where the FIRST of the milling machines/ equipment came from, I mean, it all had to start somehow.
-Did it sort of evolve the way technology does today?
-But then haw can the created be greater than the creator?
-Can it be?
(take that one as deep as you want to, I'm game ) JH
