Man , that lathe is super cool.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

How about the housing on that overhead motor!!  In that same block of pics,  the tiny pic of the shop,  note there are two early cars in the background.

50s and 60s hot rods were the best IMHO

Nice photos, real nice.  Check the tires on that hot rod with the load of teens,  the kind you had to use black air.   The steam laundry shot is really nostalgic for me.   The local blacksmith shop that finally closed in 1980, looked the same inside,  windows, ceiling and line shaft.  What is ironic is that it was a steam laundry too, when the first blacksmith bought it in 1906.  The first, small blacksmith shop photo,  has a really serious sized bellows on the ceiling,  way bigger than most shops had.  The bartender wearing a (duster),  which oddly enough looks a lot like the shop coat that the teacher was wearing.

Digging the hot rod pics.  I love the sound of a flatty also.  Got hooked on them at the rat rod show in Latimore PA.  This year it was held for the first time at Lincoln Speedway which would have been way cool if it hadn't rained.  Still had the show but track was too muddy to run the cars on it.  They had a vintage dare devil show too which couldn't preform.

In that picture with all the v-belts hanging up high, remember the wood handled pole with the hook on the end they used to get down the one you needed?
