Re: My life
My life long buddy is a retired machinist but his shop at home is amazing! All old war equipment that he has bought and rebuilt, what parts he couldn't buy he made.
He has made some pretty amazing things (to me anyway) over the years. When he had his shop he hired the younger guys to run and program all the production CnC stuff and he did all the manual one off machine work. He is actually quite a legend around here, for those in the know consider him a genius. |
