Thought some of you might find that interesting.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I actually enjoy repairing machines, unfortunately with the economy
being what it is....shrug...not so much of it anymore. I could never
work as a production guy..be bored out of my skull in short order.

That gentleman Jim I mentioned...does most of his work as "one offs"
and is one of the finest, sharpest guys Ive ever met. Every time I go
into his shop..I learn Stuff that Id never learn anywhere else. Not so
much the grand plan..but how to do the detail stuff that actually
works.

I was in there one day when he was making 20' gears. In 5 segments.

For a rock crusher of some sort IRRC.

Fascinating work
