Has anyone built a SMALL portable shop..."shop in a box"?
If so, I would like to see some pictures of it.

After looking around for ideas of how to do it, I was very surprised to
see almost nothing posted. The only location that seems to have
anything is Sherline's site.

Thanks in advance.

What is "small"? The military has portable machine shops built into
expandable shipping containers. They're delivered to wherever (Iraq),
powered up and ready to make replacement parts and modifications. They
comes stocked with raw materials as well as 4-5 axis(?) machines.

Saw the setup in some trade magazine a few months ago. Unfortunately, I
don't remember which one. I think the article told of one "hot" job they
had which was to modify the machine gun turrets on the Hummers to point more
upward to shoot at snipers on roof tops.
