Save a Saw - Vintage Machine Tools

My hat goes off to this gentleman...

Save those vintage tools and put them to use!  Don't scrap 'em!  They are worth saving and at the very least creatively updating for today's use in small shops or at home.

This is an early Enterprise Manufacturing Co. 36" band saw.  Incredible restoration job and very inspirational for a saw that I'm picking up this weekend...

Crazy Porsche Engine Stuff

Lots of extra cams, valves, pistons, and stuff...  Some insane early Porsche performance stuff right here!  3 valve heads?!  4-cam 2.0L's!  And was it really necessary to add dual turbos to a 917 engine?  DUH!  Of COURSE!
