The Government Surplus Machines That Power the SF Exploratorium
- austinz 12y agoI have a little model Stirling engine that sits on my desk at work, something I built as part of a machining class in college. It still amazes me how lathes, drill presses, and mills, machines that perform such simple tasks, can transform raw materials into complex parts with tight tolerances.
- jonah 12y agoI'd love to have a workshop outfitted like that. Our local hackerspace is amassing a nice collection old machine tools and recently acquired a hand-cranked forge.
