This machine is located at Willingham Sash and Door in Macon GA. The company has been in business since 1882 and is still making custom windows, doors and other architectural millwork to this day. They do some really fine work! Most of the machines in their shop are vintage but some new stuff mixed in as well. The shop still has the original huge steam engine (it has a flywheel/belt pulley that is probably 15' in diameter!) and boilers but they have not been used since sometime in the 1960's. A really cool operation!
