There is a horizontal mill in RPI's shop that helped win WWI! Machine tools are truly timeless...

On 1276 our initial shop space looked like this. It was a storage mezzanine until we came along in 2004. In 2005 we annexed the room under it, which gave us a 10x20 or so permanent storage space that we could keep our tools, parts and other stuff, in addition to being a "clean room" for electronics. We were also allowed to use some of the shop classes space as long as we cleaned up after ourselves, which meant that any given meeting there could be 3 or 4 or more subgroups working totally independently of each other.

It would be awesome to have 78's warehouse.
