Ah, heavy machinery... Always loved it.
ReplyDeleteHappines is a guns, girls and a milling machine... :)
errr... machinING, sorry. English - not my native language.
ReplyDeleteIf I had more time and $ I'd have a mini cnc...
ReplyDeleteMy dad was a retired millwright and machinist. I was never a real machinist, but I did have to do some work with the machinery in the course of my work. I miss those days sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI work on Fanuc controls....imagine that.
ReplyDelete@Hyperprapor.. I don't mind misspelling :)
ReplyDelete@ North, they do come in handy. Even a used Prototrac Miller.
@BobG its a dying trade thats for sure.
@ Warlock.. Do you do Fanuc Service as a living? OR do you run them?
Thanks all for stopping by :)
I thought for sure I would see a "pin up" poster on the wall :)
ReplyDelete@ stopsign.. I do have the "Don't Tread On Me Flag" if that counts !
ReplyDeleteI admire the craft of the work. I did woodworking as a hobby for awhile and am now slowly dipping a toe into metalwork as a hobby. The time I put into it is limited so progress is slow. 'Cause, ya know, there's the internet, other hobbies, books, music.... But I do love to see a well crafted piece of metal that does something.
ReplyDeleteNot that everything has to do something useful. Here's a "machine" that does lots of nothing useful
