    You would like our shop. Then again, I'm thinking you have a lot of what we have already.

    We have small stuff compared to what I’m seeing. We have a shop up the street we do some small work for, they have a lathe with a 20’ bed :eek:

    Wow. We don’t have that big of a lathe either.

    Maybe we do have about the same size stuff as yawl. Next time I’m at the other shop I’ll see if I can get a picture of the long lathe they have. I don’t know how they keep the chatter out of turning something 20’ long.

    I remember seeing some of the stuff you work with and figured it was similar. I just better be done with my Jeep stuff before I retire. I'll probably whip out a few aluminum links before the final day.

    The Machine/Weld shop has the big equipment that we haul our bigger stuff to. I can't say for sure, but I would bet good money the lathe has seen more side jobs than actual power plant work.

    Nah the diamond batteries completely encase the radiation and just use a couple leads to direct the current. Very little risk and they chance of breaking are slim since its encased in, well, diamond.

    Worst exposure story I read/heard about was the guys in japan who accidently overmixed and the one 'survivor' was kept alive in a hospital for testing until they finally let him die.

    At one of my old jobs we had Acme Gridley multi spindle machines built in the 40's - 60's, the barrels were longer than the one in the picture, they would take a 20 foot bar.
