The meticulousness of this model surpasses any diorama I've seen at any scale. I found myself responding emotionally to it. There was a sense of "wait, haven't I been in this shop?" Curiously, I spent part of a trip to Ohio last month trying to find a similar shop, in existence 45 years ago, where I bought my last motorcycle, a Norton Atlas. I found just a vacant cinder-block building in complete disrepair with no evidence of its past---no decals in windows, no RidgidTool calendars on walls, no parts in the bin. Sic transit gloria mundi. As for the lathe, my experience with full-sized lathes began and ended with South Bends and Hardinges. Not a clue. Thanks for the pointer.
