Its a wonder that more people didn't hang them selves or go blind. The machines are lovely. Michael thanks for sharing and please continue if you can.

The machine shop photos remind of a friend's shop in Flat, albiet his was on a much smaller scale. It was well outfitted though with steam power and the machines were all belt driven-cool to see!

The man at the front looks a lot like a young Joe Dubiel. Joe was a good friend of mine when he worked at Ranger Arms Co. in Gainesville, TX. The hairline and facial features really look like Joe. Possibly it is Joe's Dad, who worked for Hoffman. Ole Cowboy
