Well, I had a lathe, bandsaw, oxy welding, mig, tig, plasma, Swag press brake, and other tools, but now I can finally make some good stuff.

Just got this in the garage. Bridgeports Series II Special. The poor Excursion is quaking in it's boots at what I might do. What the heck.

I had to Google it. That think looks like something out of a 50's science fiction movie!

Can't wait to see what comes of this.

Sorry about the pics. The pcs works fine on my machine, but I can't get into my gallery to fix it. Here is the lin to a thread I made over at Practical Machinist. I"ll fix it as soon as I can

get a series I or II?

bunch pf pics in my gallery there.

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb...ecial-arrives/

For scale, the unpainted part of the table without the gray ends is 58" and 11" deep. For some reason it looks pretty small in those pics. You can see the yellow tape measure and 2D flashlight on the table for scale, too.

Now What will I make? Oh, well, got to get tooling up first. What would you folks make for the Ex? I pretty darn near have a full machine/welding shop now. The sky is the limit. (well, not the sky. That would be a CNC machine)

That would of course go great with this custom badge!

I LOVE THAT BADGE!!!!!!!!

I had a 67 Belair station wagon that was falling apart that I drove in High school. It was falling apart, but would not die! We all called it "The Tank"

I gotta make that badge!!

I could do something similar to what you showed in the first pic, Stewart. I already have two of these complete with the tripods: Maadi Griffin 50bmg rifle.



But I'd end up spending a few years in jail for mounting it on the truck! LOL
