	At times some were used more than others. I rarely have call for the  
lathe but it has bailed me out of all kinds of stuff. Mower,  
household, automotive, whatever.
	My buddy had his machine shop set-up less than a mile away. He had  
the whole magilla. We picked up a giant vertical mill once it weighed  
like 9500#. The flatbed driver slipped it into the shop after we  
removed the roll-up door and a little trim.
	I'm amazed that something so huge could be as accurate as this  
machine was. It made a Bridgeport look like a hand grinder in the end  
product. Machines are fascinating.
