The shop had to get worse before it got better.  Spent some holiday time getting shop reorganized to fit a surface plate I found up in York, PA at Hildebrand Machinery. It is a nice (a little bigger than I wanted) 36"x66" and weighs in around 800 pounds.  Will start working on the fixtures sometime soon.  It is short too... need to work on a base although I might keep it short to prevent my from using for something else or piling crap on it...

Also got a fork jig from my nephew Lucas!  He is a highschool machine shop student and has the bicycle bug much like me.
