I have a little Bridge Port with 42" table. I never met Charlie Peck, but from what I understand he was a pretty good machinist also. His shop was somewhere down in the country, and my Dad described him as an upscale Al Davis. He messed with a bunch of Micro stuff back then and I had a 10 ci. Continental that Charlie had built and he had machine 2 billet rods for them. They were beautiful and when you tapped them they rang like a bell. Talking about Old time craftsmen like those guys were, today is more like telling a folk story. They just get better and better with age.
