Not sure this is the right forum, but it's the best I could find ...
... also not sure if this has been around already; if so, my apologies ...
Guy at work sent this my way and I greatly enjoyed it.
Reminded me of working for my dad doing drafting work & holding the loop end of a 100' tape measure.
Also made me wonder how long an operation like this one can survive.

That is truly a great company. The kind of people you could trust to do right and make a deal on a handshake.

That was a good one wish them all well. With the attitude of that young man they still be around 100 years from now.

I know of a local machine shop that had 2 large CNC'd components that couldn't be lined up for final assembly. The really sad part is that error could have likely been caught, if somebody had expended the effort to click a mouse a couple of more times. Not that you always need a 'puter, which is a point I often make today and this video well illustrates.

Every CEO and economic minister (on down) should be shown this video, as it is a good reminder of some of what has been lost in the last handful of decades.

Thank you for posting that, even though it does make me a bit sad. I wouldn't need a handshake from these guys, a nod would be plenty.
