iDuckman Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) The videographer, Keith Rucker, is a master machinist and great streamer and teacher. His own shop is unbelievable. In his spare time (he has a real job) he restores old machines from the glory days of industrial America and drives and maintains steam locomotives. Check him out. As for the elephant in the room, the bright yellow beam hanging from the ceiling is a track for moving heavy items. You will see similar on Broadway, but I think they're a deck below under the armor.

I've always liked mechanicing, doing terrible things to my cars. Then I took my Ford 302 HO to an engine builder in Atlanta (Don Dixon's Performance Engines, if he's still with us) for a collaborative stealth job and hung around to help in the shop. I really loved it. I think I could have been a professional, were I sufficiently self-motivated. [engine pic when I can find it.] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
