Welcome from PA. I know these older trucks can be a bit of a pain to keep going sometimes, but at least we can fix them!
What part of PA are you moving to?
I'll second the call for pics of the tools!

Latrobe area. Close to the big city, Pittsburgh, but still have deer sitting in my new backyard.

Welcome from southern Virginia!

Sounds like you have a nice shop planned.

Speaking of Starrett, this is one of my very favorite tools, which I acquired when I had the good fortune to work as a trim carpenter:

I'm tired of the heat. 90's temps and 90's humidity 8 months a year are less than fun. Like being slapped with a hot wet blanket when you walk outside.

Yup I need to do several things to my crew cab, and my Suburban has been sitting since January. Maybe next week when I'm off work a couple days? And I agree, the Southern heat/humidity is brutal. One of the local weather men calls it "air you can wear".

I always wondered what they looked like before they grew up.

Cool,a fellow machinist. I've got a 12" Atlas/Clausing that was made in the 50's. It's a nice tight machine with good ways.
You'd laugh at my milling machine. 1920's Columbia power feed drill press with a Palmgren mill table. Friggin thing weighs close to 1000lbs. Works pretty good but I'm limited to about .050" DOC on steel.
Sounds like you'll have plenty of venison this winter.

Yeah, that is a real decent area. I've been thru there. It seems there is always work for the guy willing to manipulate metal. Best of luck to ya!

Well, it shows he's from Texas - does that help?

I saw that too. In spite of the spelling, a Texan would know better, hence my question if it  was meant as a joke that I don't understand.
