      Also, as someone that works at an engine factory, I'm rather surprised how few steps it is! I think our shortest line is around six machines, and our longest probably closer to 100.

    Just amazing stuff! When he said "some of the machines here, we bought them very cheap" and so on... I immediately thought to myself "this is how real business is done". Hats off big time! Nowadays there is so much "stuff" floating around because of odd deadlines, budgets, people who don't understand basic or advanced mechanics or are not wanting to "use time" to make stuff work again (and even better than before), and so on... I really appreciate people with broad knowledge of stuff, even if they are not making big waves in those industries.

      Difficult to understand your comment. It‘s rude and inaccurate. I find the english clearly spoken, and grammatically correct. Maybe as a non-native english speaker yourself you have a lot to learn.

      @@billfromgermany Bill, woke is not cool. Life is too short to be thin skinned. Call me an A-hole, tell me I look like a troll, or maybe that I have a face that only a mother could love. I'll laugh right along with you. Even if I was missing a leg and you said you've got a leg up on me. I would laugh hysterically. These are the moments in life we remember. Scowling around every corner benefits no one.

    Very cool and humble guy. Geez frick what a massive process to make a Conrod, much more elaborate than I would've guessed. I was thinking "Yeah, he got all that but what about peening?" Not even 10 secs later "Here's the small 0.5mm hardened steel balls for peening". 😂 Fark me, he is way ahead of my wildest dreams.
