    Should I buy this mill and lathe for $1500.00?

    I have very minimal knowledge about machine work other that running a brake lathe. I’d like to get into it for hot rod building and hobby use. I have no idea what this is worth or if I should look elsewhere. What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Hello from Alabama.

    Hello all, from south Alabama. I've been lurking around here for quite a while. I decided to join and maybe get involved in some conversations from time to time. I have a 40x48 (if I remember correctly) pole barn that was on my property when I bought it. I put down concrete and put up some walls...
