The DNA has been at it awhile, 5 generations as far as I know, while all of us were not solely dedicated to machining as a career, everyone's run the machines at some time or another. About 15 years at it for me.

17 been machining for a bit over 2 years. Been working at a metal fab/sculpture studio shop for ~20 months. It was only about a month on a b-port before I noticed this trade was far too vast to learn it all... All the more reason to keep at it.

Randolph · Jul 1, 2006

67 years old this month. Started learning to weld in my father's shop before I was 10 and attended US Navy Machinery Repairman school in 1958. Been learning ever since and am just getting warmed up.
