Shop Tour

Welcome to the shop

Michael has this thing for restoring old American-made machines.  He believes the quality and workmanship in these machines are hard to duplicate with todays plastics and thin-gauge metal.  He finds it rewarding to take an old beaten up, but not worn out, machine and restore it to an almost new condition.  "Plus it's cheaper than buying new", He says.  He also enjoys fabricating and tweaking tools to fit his needs.   Here are a few of the machines in his shop.
