Ah heck Don, my son and the granddaughters showed up this weekend, so I couldn't make it. I'm currently working on getting my new project running, my John Deere 2010 tractor with loader and backhoe.

Try longer than that............Last time I looked at the clock last night it was 2350.........

Then up at 0400 this morning...

I am really impressed with this mill. I did some online research last night and found out this mill is quite different than most. It was one of the few that came with power feed in all three axes, and the main table swivels 45 deg left and right from center. Should be able to do things that just won't work on a reg horizontal mill. Did I say I'm stoked??!!!

Oh, it's over 100 years old! It was made some time between 1900 and 1910. Looking now for a manual for it online.......

Morning Oregon Gang and Friends!

Morning Tiny! I'm really impressed with the condition of the mill and all the extra features it has. I can't wait to get it up and running. Should be able to do some neat things with it!

It's already lasted a lifetime, and when Harley and I are done with it, it will last another 100 years!
