Looke like a kind of sad story. Says it's a "retirement auction". So
some guy built a business that could afford that kind of equipment and
the power to run it and the shop space to hold it, and he's retiring,
and there isn't anybody to take it over. Wonder how many people are
losing their jobs?



There might be a few weeks work for a few millwrights -
if they don't mind the travel to China - which is what my
next-door-neighbour did when the factory closed ..


I think I actually found the company that owned it. Feher Machine and
Manufacturing. Address matches the location in the auction listing,
their web site is down, and the property is for sale.
