My Ironworker is a 55 ton Cleveland Steel Tools machine.  ( www.clevelandsteeltool.com )


The Lathe/Mill is built by Grizzly Industrial  ( www.grizzly.com )


My 100 ton press brake and 1/4" shear are both 48" wide capacity and built in house by me.  


The shop forklift is a 3500 lb capacity lift built by Hyster.  ( www.hyster.com )  Built in 1965.


I use Milwaukee power tools exclusively (angle grinders, sanders, circular saws, magnetic drills, and cordless tools.  ( www.milwaukeetool.com )
