I was able to make a deal for a couple pieces of equipment that I will be putting into my garage.
The first piece I picked up was an older dovetail J-head Bridgeport milling machine. I wanted something like it but perhaps not as big for some time. My intention is to start making some small parts for model airplanes that I design. I pondered how I would maybe make struts and other parts when I was given the opportunity to also get a Clausing lathe. Now that was something I really wanted as well and struck a deal to get that as well. So now I need to get the machines moved and put into my garage. Then start doing the electrical to get them working so I can start playing around and make some small parts. I think at first I will start out with something simple to create and then move from there onto new parts that people might want or need for airplanes.
