I also got the tools and the shop passed on to me from my father when he retired, as he had from his father. I am a machinist by trade like both of them, grew up in the shop practically and I enjoy working in that environment! I've got two lathes, a mill, a 50 ton press, a couple of column drills, two welding machines (MIG and stick) and a bunch of hand tools, taps etc. Mill, lathes and the big drill are Czechoslovakian and Polish made, very sturdy. they used to work non-stop back in the day...
Success in your endeavor, mate!
