Old Iron Eye Candy

[Brian Hale]

Great photos Maurice, Thanks for sharing them with us!

For those that may be interested, the Baltimore Museum of Industry has a complete working machine shop, belt driven, from the early to mid 1800's. The volunteerss come in and run various pieces of machinery.

Thanks for the pictures Maurice! I love that old iron. I have a Champion bench mount drill press - it has special meaning since it was made about a mile away from my house. Unfortunately, the facility is now a bunch of restaurants.

Hmmm, so lets think about this. Do the bunch of restaurants provide an equivalent number of jobs which in turn provide an equivalent standard of living? It took years to train a machine builder nevermind the engineers, salesmen and managers involved.
