Recently I created a post about the history of machine tools. Here’s that post.

Since I did that post I’ve found some great pictures, links and videos of the tools and how they changed over the years.

“To hurry through one’s leisure is the most unbusiness-like of actions.” -G.K. Chesterton
Turning and turning in the widening gyre | The falcon cannot hear the falconer | Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold | Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world | The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere | The ceremony of innocence is drowned | The best lack all conviction, while the worst | Are full of passionate intensity. -- W.B. Yeats, The Second Coming
