Another enjoyable segment Charlie. I like that milling vice.

Thanks Jim.

The large rotating milling vice was an Amazon Purchase.

The T Bolts that came with it don't fit the Mill. So, I am searching for some that do and/or I am going to mill some down to fit.

Some very nice tools´n´stuff you´ve added there Charlie, well done!

Thank you Jan.

Always on the lookout for interesting tools.

Now that I have been fully vaccinated, I will be attending more estate/boot/garage sales looking for interesting hand tools.

good advertisement for your hardware store -
it is true - we need all this stuff and more
but where did I put it again ;D
I like your Emco DB200 with quick change tool holder.

Arnold

Thank you Arnold.

I noticed in your Collection Tour video that you have quite a collection of Emco machines.

The quick tool changer was an eBay purchase.

Some nice tooling there Charlie, some night very inexpensively. Well done.

Thanks Bruce. Not at your workshop level yet; but, you give me something to aspire to.

Some nice additions to your tool supply
I suppose you are finding out the Mill is the cheap part
As you acquire more tooling for it .

Cheers
Dennis

Well said Dennis.

Not only the End Mills; but the Collet Set and the three Machine Vices....so far.

I am sure there is more to come.

And Brass Bar Stock seems to be more expensive than Gold. Geez.
