Thanks for posting that.
I see the machines in the video for making machine, what do the machines that make those machines look like? :)
Technology is amazing.

Maybe trains?

I worked with springs of that size on control valves for steam turbines. It was a bit scary the first time we tore down the housing and we didn't know if it would try flying or not.

Anyone that gave up early, you owe it to yourself to go back and skip forward to the friction welding part... Amazing. @25:43

Hey now.......I will take a lifted truck and a chubby girl over a *********** tuner car and their 100lb skeleton chicks any day....

I'm getting a bit older... can't do the lifted truck anymore... but the chubby chick... hell yea.

Speaking of tools that make springs... I need new struts in my 2005 Outback. 200K miles... originals...

Matco friction welds their ratchet heads and handles together.

When did MATCO start making hand tools of their own? As far as I knew, the ONLY thing MATCO actually manufactured is tool boxes. They re-brand everything else...
