My shop is a in a pole barn out in the middle of a cornfield in Illinois. Today we got a severe weather advisory, and I barely was able to get the sliding door shut before the wind and sideways rain came down on us. Blew pretty bad for awhile, and I got to thinking what I would do if we got a tornado out here...
Then it hit me!
I'll climb my happy ass into the 13,000lb Ikegai lathe! There is a nice spot for me inbetween the X-slide and the ways for the hydraulic tailstock. I could lay completely down in the chip area and wait it out.... I don't think any tornado is going to pick up a chunk of iron like that!
Any thoughts?
