Default Some of my tools and work shop

Here's some pictures of my work area. I didn't include my wood working equipment and welding machines. Someday I should do a inventory on all my tools and machinery.
The first bottom toolbox I bought 30yrs ago


Some of my tooling storage and Gerstner Machinists chests. The Snap-On dealer tried to sell me bigger toolboxs but I told him I could buy these Vidmar cabinets cheaper and they hold more weight,


My Baby, A Monarch 10EE tool room lathe considered the Cadillac of all lathes this one is as old as me 1962 model.


An old war time Reed and Prentice for larger work but I need to get a much larger one when I get the room.


My Bridgeport 3axis CNC mill no shop should be without at least a manual version.


Punches, Diacro mandrel bender, Cold saws, mill tooling and some Press tooling


One of 4 Delta Belt sanders and a Boyar Schultz 6x12 manual surface grinder


A old Columbia 3/16x10' shear I salvaged and rebuilt the big gear box to make usable again.


A 45ton Verson press brake also salvaged. I have access to a larger one next door in our Ind. Park


Diacro manual and Whitney power punches. I looked for a long time to get the power version I could afford.


Some of my wrenches tiny up to 2-1/2''

Thanks all. I've been collecting my tools and machinery for about 30yrs now. I think the first tool I bought was a Snap-On phillips screw driver.
The girl in picture 2 is a old1987? Snap-On tool girl calendar. For you young guys Snap-On used to not be so politically correct and photographed pretty girls (clothed) holding one of their tools. But for some reason they caved to the feminists not long afterwards.
That little toolbox has some small tools but I'm afraid it will turn over since it's so light weight. I have another one near the Monarch lathe just out of the picture that's Teal color.

Scott, Mike and I went down to Brownsville this evening and loaded up my TEN Grader so I can run out to Portland,IN tomorrow to attend some of the Antique Caterpillar national show. I used a excuse to go because I have to take some aluminum extrusions to be anodized in Columbus. At Brownsville I noticed our dirt pile just sitting there waiting till next year

Very nice equipment steve-I think the bridgeport would be my favorite. But that monarch lathe would be a close second!
