Marv,
OH MY GAWD man... your like well.............. I'm just speechless!!!!! (Ask my Wife, that normally does NOT "EVER" happen!) WOW.......... just..........W-O-W!!!!

What "scale" might these tools be? I'd LOVE to put together a 1/25th scale Bridgeport Mill and a Clausing 9x32 (I think it was) Lathe!!!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed my models, Hemi. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, they're all dollhouse scale, 1/12 (inch to the foot). If you're incorporating the models into model machine shop dioramas or such, there are many doll house accessory suppliers to provide auxiliary items and scale paneling, windows, etc. for the display.

A working 1/25 scale of a Bridgeport would, I fear, be just too small. It's not undoable, of course, but it would try the patience of a watchmaker. For a more realistic 1/5 scale model, take a look at the work Barry Jordan has done...

I've seen these models at the Craftsmanship Museum and they are indeed spectacular.

Barry has completed an even smaller 1/14 scale working model of a Bridgeport (pictured below), but nothing like 1/25.

You don't reveal your location but if you're ever in Southern California, be sure to visit the Craftsmanship Museum. You'll be speechless for days. :-)
