What’s the next best thing to visiting Keith Rucker’s shop in Georgia or Clarke

What’s the next best thing to visiting Keith Rucker’s shop in Georgia or Clarke Easterling’s foundry in Mississippi? Getting Keith and Clark to visit MY shop in Ohio!

What an honor it was to have @vintagemachinery and @clarkeeasterling67 stop by. They were passing through the Cleveland area and I was able to arrange a tour for them of the @midwestrailwaypreservation down at the old B&O roundhouse. While they were here, they accepted my invitation to see my small shop and how Keith has been an inspiration to me on my journey to being a machinist. I cannot thank them enough!

A little #BeforeAndAfter for your Friday.

A little for your Friday. I bought these two height gauges along with two others at auction. They were pretty filthy. Nothing a little elbow grease can’t solve. Still need to get the crystal for the one. But they are both accurate and working. Money well spent. Now, I just need to decide if I want to part with any of them!
