Bohle My Dear I'll Miss You

I think Pat is the only one who's ever visited my work so I thought I'd take a few pictures of my favorite machine there to give you guys an idea of scale. There it is in all it's glory. It's a German made medium size milling machine. Yes, we've got bigger one's than this one but I like the Bohle, it's a nice aprocheable size and nice to work on. It also contains the whole and extent of my German vocabulary... actually I don't really know what the words mean but I can very well see what's happening when I press the "Notausschalter" button. I think that one means something like emergency stop or something to that effect. By the fact that I'm standing directly on the table you can see this ain't your uncle's drill press! To get a better idea I'm five feet six inches tall. You have to click on the picture to get the whole picture!
