Default Hello from Seattle

My name is Rob Williamson and I restore cars and motorcycles as a hobby. I have a fairly large shop (3000 square foot) where I work on and store vehicles. I grew up, and currently live in Seattle. I have participated in several car clubs in the Seattle area. My taste in vehicles is fairly eclectic, if it is interesting in engineering or design then it appeals to me. I also like the character of vintage tools especially cast iron industrial tools such as English wheels, drill presses, power hammers etc. The more modern welded steel frame English wheels work fine but I prefer the aesthetic appeal of the cast iron tools. I look forward to increasing my skills and participating in your forum. Thank you, Rob

Hi Rob, welcome to the site. I know what you are saying about old machines I am sure most of us on here feel the same way. There is just something about them.

Here is a photo of my wheels. I have a Frost and a Kendrick. I have also owned an Edwards. In the background you can see one of my Edwards folders
