Im probably just as cramped, only I have more square footage. Just to much stuff packed in there that needs to be fixed.

I guess you could get buy with a small shop, tractors need a little more space.

Yes you are quite right, tractors do need more space. Have helped out a friend of mine that restores old massey tractors with his father.

My shop is in a heated out building so it's a great escape when the weather turns cold. It has a lot of capability but unfortunately the 23x24 foot building is not near large enough for all the stuff that's crammed into it. It looks roomy at the moment, but normally there is a Chevelle stored in the bay. I have plans to add another bay off the back with room for the car and also to store all of the materials, that would free up a lot of space up front.

The two basic machines are a DoAll vertical mill and a Hardinge HLV-H lathe. There is also a 6x48 belt sander, a 14" band saw, a sheet metal brake and notcher, air compressor, pedestal grinder, hydraulic press, MIG, TIG and oxy-aceytylene welders. I've been keeping an eye open for a 6x12 surface grinder, but no luck yet.

I'm a big fan of old Lufkin tools. This is a set of NOS micrometers I managed to collect over the years and the tool box to the right is full of NOS lufkin tools. I've been trying to find one of the Lukin oak tool chests, but haven't had much success. They occasionally show up on eBay but go for big bucks.

Yes, the 10EE is bullet-proof. It's my favorite machine in the shop as well. I'm the 3rd owner of mine. Cheers, Bill

Gosh, I think your Monarch is even nicer than mine! I just purchased a new Accu-rite 200S DRO yesterday for mine and will install this weekend.
It will replace an old analam mini wizard.
