 still I do a bunch of stuff outside cause of no room or it is easier.  At one time I had planned a for a line shaft to drive some old tools in the hot shop, but the old body isn't what it used to be. moving old heavy stuff has me wore out! Added a pic of my "big" lathe it's a old South Bend,  The story was it turned armatures for the street cars in St.Louis, so when I went to look at it I stuck my little magnet down where only the smallest of chips could hide not steel swarfs!  Year later the local PBS station did a documentary on the last of the street cars and they show the little garage with the I-beam sticking out the end of the building.
