Nate, storage is no big deal with a tool like this. Find a nice mountain and make your own garage.

They are currently using boring machines in Rhode Island to complete a massive central sewer overflow line. Usually as part of my job I get access to some really neat construction projects–but there are no VIP trips to the boring machine. It makes sense but I would sure love to get down there and check it out.

This is from last week’s Providence Journal if anyone cares….(article and photo gallery)

Paul, I just laughed so hard I hit my head on the swing-arm lamp…

This is right up there with most of the big tools: “I’d snag one if it were cheap, but where would I put it?”

Actually the cutting size is 49.86 feet! The formerly largest in the world (47.24′) is currently eating a new tunnel in Niagara Falls to feed more water to the Hydro plant on the Canadian Side. http://www.opg.com/power/hydro/new_projects/ntp/ntp_gal.asp
