In an old machine shop in Abilene, TX, the fourth generation of machinists are still working on the same tools brought in by the first generation.... and three of the generations still work in the shop.

very neat video,
brought back memories from my younger days when i worked in a machine shop,
never really trained other than on the job, but seeing the morse taper bit
reminded me that i used to run those machines!

I was surprised to see the machines running off a jackshaft. The last time I saw that, it was at the MMOGTA show in Oakley, Michigan.

What do you suppose the people at OSHA will say if they view this video?
