Nice - 3 generations working together in a family business.

Sadly - not all that common any more!

"take a welding rod and draw the plans up on the dirt floor"

All the fine details come together in the grey matter.

I also like that the shop is built from used timbers and materials and their equipment was all previously used. They're sure making a good go of it.

Terrific video. That soft-spoken grandson brought a tear to my eye. How many young folks do you see nowadays with that kind of attitude???? Damn, I want to move down there and work in that shop........

In my home state (Rhode Island), if you try to open or run any business, they tax and regulate you to death.

Up 'till about 2 years ago, I was still using and old chain fall just like they have. I sorta miss it, but only on the nostalgia level - the electric hoist works much easier....

Very nice video the way it used to be back in the day...Now they get their MBA's and liquidate,destroy,sell out,move overseas and start all over again with the next accusation;. Sickening all for a buck and bragging rights (sorry for the rant ).
