Back in those days, it almost seems like people were building just as incredible machines, structures, buildings, ect, with a lot less technology, and I think that's amazing. I don't think we've got anything on these guys from the older era. They did just as much, with less, and look how everything built back then is still around. That stuff was built to last. Today, it's more of a throw away world.

true Nate , but look at all the ppl it takes that cnc replaces . with cnc , 1 man can run a entire block of machines . With the VMC I got I can set up to run the secound op on my hubs while I cut the first op on the lathe . I can set up a long program like a trailer frame start and go to bed .
