Wow! I had no idea that these were so labor-intensive. Gives me a new appreciation for what small businesses across the country must do to make the bottom line and pay people. George, thanks for posting this, and thanks for doing what you have done to keep these guys in business.

You'd be amazed how many things you buy that the time involved in making it is intensive... china helps hide that fact by cheap labor ($80 US/month is good pay). My oil tanks look over 4 hours each to make, in production, including 11ft of TIG welding .0625 aluminum. That doesn't include the 100+ hours of CAD work, working with vendors to make sure you know what they can do, and what tolerances to expect when you finally get the parts. Its a whole other world when your on the supply side of the table.

Nice work on the video George. As a machinist, its always fun to watch other machine shops and what they have laying around. Cheers!
