today was a field trip for me.....i was sent to the machine shop on my own with precise instructions to gather information and drop off some valves to be modified....we have some heads at this shop that we found through word of mouth....we have visited with Larry twice ( he is the owner of this shop since 1968.....and in this same location since 1972....he must be doing something right.....) after talking to him for a short while i realize that first, he is a nice guy and second he has alot of good information to pass along.....

.....his shop has all machines that are more than 30 years old...all made in the U.S.A. Bridgeports aplenty.....none of this new CNC stuff that cant get out of its own way.... ridiculous $200,000.00 dollar machines that ruin perfectly good heads and blocks, because the blockheads running them think they are infallible........people thing that new and more expensive is better.........please...once you realize that slow and simple wins the race you will come out way ahead of the game.....dont be fooled by new, shiny stuff....it will suck you in with promises of better, faster, bigger...ect.....stick with the old stand- by that has been working for a long time...the grass isnt always greener on the other side......
