Does not follow...

It's all relative, and no, I really don't. Looking at a pair of relatively clean round ram BPs with J head, a couple serial numbers apart that appear to have come out of the same shop. Shop is a 1.5-2 car garage (called a 2 car, but only if they are small cars) with a 1 car sized extension built off the back. Space is pretty tight as it is before I add a mill.

For the most part, that's only where other people's money is concerned.

You'd be amazed what you can stuff in a garage with the right planning..

I want commenting on his budget limits, but on his definition of "huge". The biggest mill I've ever personally seen was a gantry mill that was big enough to park a dump truck on. I regularly run a Hurcos with a table of 3 x7 feet, and a max table load of 5000 lbs.

My gunsmith/machinist friend has a 1 car garage with a 12x36 lathe, south bend lathe, bridgeport mill, some big horizontal mill, surface grinder, drill press, welder, blast cabinet, tractor project, shaper, and I think part of a disassembled Model T.

I went from an oversize 1 car garage to the current shop, which was a big improvement but not as much as you might think since the previous garage had a high ceiling with a storage loft. I really miss being able to put stuff up on the loft. Plus everything went into the garage with no planning over the course of a long weekend when we moved, and it has taken forever to get semi organized. The real improvement is being able to use it as a garage and still keep a project vehicle inside the extended area. I would add another extension, except the back yard slopes away steeply.

So, I have a few weeks to figure out how I am going to get this off a friend's trailer and into my garage. Both of the older round ram units I was looking at sold, but this is probably better anyway, although not as clean. Appears to be missing a few minor parts that my gunsmith friend assures me are easily replaced.

Diversity and inclusion training tomorrow. Hopefully I won't say anything that will get me fired. I have a tendency to piss off the instructors in these things.

This is the kind of thing for which, were the ceiling too low, I would cut a hole into the attic above the garage. I haz jealous.

Our 'extremism stand-down' training is coming soon. Going to need a whole pot of fresh-brewed, hot STFU to make it through that.

It astounds me the lengths that the snowflakes of the world go to be offended.

Here's my official wish that they one day experience true offense to an end that prolapses every orifice in their filthy fucking bodies.

(yeah, I got the title IX/fag tolerance training email yesterday at work, too. )

Rent or borrow an engine crane.
