	I acquired all the stuff over time. Mostly used, high quality stuff  
that was donated, bought cheap, salvaged, you know the drill. The  
foundry guy is about 30 miles from me. I worked on his boat a few  
times, gratis. He makes me his assistant when I need something. Same  
thing, I don't need it much but its good to know its there if you  
need it.
	There are plenty of old machines not being used now due to CNC so  
they're usually pretty reasonable if you don't mind cranking handles  
around.  600 ? splain please
