this is my small mill has my piston cutter in it for fly cutting. work better that a sharp stick and a hammer

We got a mill at the shop (Old Dominion FSAE Formula Team) but it's an old POS and broke internally several years ago. The school is finally giving the Engineering dept some money so the old mill in the metal shop is coming to our shop now! YAY!!!!! Now I'll be able to teach myself how to use one and possibly get some usefull milling done

You equipment is looking good though, if you don't mind me asking, how did ya come about getting all this equipment?

i may only be 19 but ive been told by a goodmany that i have the attitude of a kid from the 60's-70's nostalgic you could say.

I had already been bracket racing for 3 yrs. when you where born.WOW I really feel old now.

Well, I'd been racing, drag and circle burners, 3 years before you were born, Erik (your profile sez 1968)......How do you think I feel????

For what it's worth, I was racing karts 8 years before you were born......

Age is all relative, I guess.....

About the same as I do.I did'nt even count the motorcross or Atv days.

In 1960, the wild bike racing were TT, flat track, scrambles, and enduro!!!! I don't believe ATV's and Motocross had even been invented yet??????

Speaking of feeling old I hope Mamma(aka the wife) has my bath ready for me.Now where did I put my damn cane.I have to go to bed soon.
