Nice video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Their place is much larger than I imagined.
I wish you could have filmed their presses in action. These large Hammer presses are very imposing in person. They require massive foundations. I've been machining tooling dies for over 25 yrs. Typically, they use a Kirksite material that is very gummy during machining. I'm very impressed with their work, both as a customer and a spectator. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Oscar |

Great video. Place looks amazing and will certainly get my business again, next time I need a replacement panel Loved the pieces I've used so far.
Side note: probably sounding like a snob... I don't know why "Nine One Four" irks me so much. |

Hilarious enough on the side note I totally agree, listening to myself saying Nine One Four on camera grabbed my attention to correct. Nine fourteen, Nine eleven, Three fifty six sounds much better. I will be attempting to correct my future vocabulary in videos. Cheers! Joe |

Many thanks for making the video and for allowing the video to be made!
Tremendous amount of work and skill at RD, it's amazing to see all the parts that they are making. Anyone add up how much just in parts it would cost for a "new" 356 chassis? Side note: I used to work down the street from NUMMI* and once took a tour there. Their presses where impressive for sure. *now Tesla |
