On edit I will add, good luck to those in the video... It is an interesting video worth watching...Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

size matters
The machinery in that shop is BIG ...... the lathes were all massive in size . I'd hate to drop a chuck that big on my foot There was a time when machine shops like that were in most towns .. what happened ? Did the OHS rules kill them off ? I guess repairing worn out parts just isn't the done thing nowadays ...it is cheaper to buy new, than repair stuff .

I believe at the fast pace we are seeing the computer/cyber age developing, that it won't be too far into the future that we will see manual machine shops back in full swing, whether it be repairing or proto-typing.
Because it is only going to take one big cyber BANG..!!!!! or virus to wipe all this wonderful internet and everything compleately out.. I for one look forward to it.. Exept the loss of the forum But we will have to make contact by snail mail and a telephone exchange house..

I think there will always be a place for workshops like these in repairing large, expensive tools and machinery. By the time someone frigged around writing code for the CNC machine to do the job, these boys would have the part back to you.
There was an article in The Australian last week predicting the high-paid workers of the near future will be the solicitor and the fitter & turner.Chris

Yeah!
Its one for old fashioned values of attitude, application and good old horse sense. Its a working environment where everyone is happy and that says something to me.
They appear to enjoy what they do and do what they enjoy,very well. I sense that if it became necessary they could well adapt to change,but won't change just for the sake of change.
They appear have what many don't and that is job satisfaction. I wish them well and hope they can do what they do for many years to come. Other than that we have seen what the video maker has wanted us to see and naturally there's much more than we have pick up in a few minutes.
Where I live ,if you took a job to a machine shop shop you would be given an outrageous quote as they were not interested in your piddly little job for small dollar work.
That is because of shops cut throating each other are mostly over capitalized and have to bring in high dollar work to service their loans.
I suspect that may change in the light of the slowdown we are seeing now.
