Kermit the Lathe's Wild Ride. (and some friends, too)

Oh, this one's not CNC by any means. I don't think they had that back about 1890.

It's big enough that you could build most of a steam locomotive on it. Or make a pretty good stab at a 12-inch gun.

Absolute monster.

The shop that has it keeps it because you would have to pull down one whole wall if you wanted to move it out.

It's beautiful!

Sounds very interesting! A bunch of railroad enthusiasts near Chattanooga, TN rescued a steam engine driver wheel lathe that had ended up in Poland somehow. (It was US built, oddly) They were trying to get me to run it, but the commute time would be enormous! Supposedly the last one of it's type in existance.
