Happy Independence Day, America! Many of us have the incredible luck to have been born in this great Nation. Some, recognizing its value and freedoms have made the choice to come here and become citizens. And still others, work toward citizenship while contributing to its greatness. Intended to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the men that signed it did so at some potential peril to themselves. Today, the holiday has come to mean barbecues and beer to some. While we are all enjoying the day, I’d ask you to ask yourself if you are an American worth sacrificing for? Are you an American worth putting one’s safety in jeopardy for? Enjoy your weekend. Kiss your loved ones. Celebrate your freedoms. #nuffsed .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase p

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” - Vince Lombardi ——— A little more than a year ago, I chose to begin down the road to achieve the knowledge and ability to design generative gear cutting tools to any configuration or specification. I also decided that I wanted to have the ability to manufacture them, myself. Right here in our own shop. This was an incredibly lofty goal, and in retrospect - one of immense hubris. I had no idea of the many things that I had no idea of. And it was an insanely stupid thing to do on such whim. But, with the help of a handful of simply fantastically talented people, I was able to not only achieve those goals, but far surpass those goals. This gear happens to go to our United States of America Military Forces, but it represents so much more than that. It is also very much an example of one of the qualities that so often defines America to the rest of the world. The idea that any small individual person can achieve huge results with hard work and perseverance, and ultimately make their way in the world for having done so. This nation’s history is littered with examples of such successes. A small piece of that abstract of idealism called The American Dream. We are so lucky to have been born here; to have had people literally shed their life’s blood to guarantee the continuance of the practice of such ideals. Happy Independence Day! From us at American Machine & Gear Works, to YOU. And remember, the next time some clod tells you what to do and how to do it, punch them in the throat, dump their tea in the river, give’m the finger, and tell them to bugger off. Or something like that. .

You wouldn’t think that this cutter just made 30 4XX Series Stainless Steel parts. Virtually no wear to be seen, save for a very minor change in surface finish of the cutter’s edges. Huge #thankyou to Bob Hem of ESS Systems for the assistance and guidance in altering our geometries. Being able to design the cutter around such changes also proved to be invaluable in the pursuit of perfection. 👍 I think it is finally safe to say that we have finally arrived at a process that is fully refined, predictable, and dependable. Of course, I will still continue to push the limits and explore more ways to improve upon our work. #neverquit #neverstoplearning .

There have been other generations of teenagers and

There have been other generations of teenagers and young adults that also did not get to walk the graduation stage. They saw a personal responsibility to act on the behalf of those that could not. A human responsibility. For someone else’s benefit. Not their own. Over 2500 Americans died storming the beach 76 years ago, for the sake of people they had never met, and for most - would never meet. To stand up in the face of real fascism, literally draw a line in the sand, and say, “no more.” They fought as AMERICANS. This is JUST ONE of the qualities that would go on to define that generation as what we came to regard as The Greatest Generation. THINK about that. For just one moment, think about that. They died in a foreign land, on a patch of bloody sand, against cliffs that were loaded with the enemy that was pouring endless machine gun fire down upon them. They never again were allowed to tell their loved ones that they loved them. Never again to walk through their doors. Never to return home. And the ones that lived were scarred for life. And they each to a person have expressed that they would do it all over again. Do you make your ancestors proud? Are you an American worth dying for? Are you a human worth standing up for? So many things seem so irrelevant when illuminated with the light of the sacrifice of others. Makes one wonder if one is using one’s own life well. At the very least, it should. .

Some cratering on a carbide cutter that we discovered during routine in-process inspection. Finding it now, means saving the cutter, and also some serious down time from having to sharpen excessively far past a break or even making a new one. .

I can’t believe I have had this mallet for +/- 30 years!!! And guess what? The company is still around, and still making the same exact mallet!!! That is fantastic news because as you can see, the yellow mallet head finally gave up. A quick search, and new heads were here in a day! I figured that I may as well replace both while I was there. Thank you Vaughan & Bushnell! Quality American made products! 💪👌👍 They’re also VERY affordable, proving American made does not have to mean more expensive. #jobwelldone .

What if 2020 isn’t cancelled? What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for? A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw - that it finally FORCES us to grow. A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber. A year we finally accept the need for change. Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of pushing each other further apart. 2020 isn’t cancelled, but rather the most important year of them all. - Leslie Dwight .

Regular followers know that I post VERY LITTLE tha

Regular followers know that I post VERY LITTLE that is not actually shop related. The exception to that rule is certain anniversaries that have meaning to me, as a veteran.
However, I feel compelled to say this, “out loud” -
Today, there is the idea that we should all be posting #blackouttuesday hashtags & black backgrounds as some meaningful response to the tragic loss of life.

Frankly, I consider this to be meaningless bullshit & the equivalent of “thoughts & prayers”. In totality, nothing. It is (to be clear) - FAILURE to act & a disservice & dishonor to that person, AND the greater condition.

Do something. Discuss it openly, in the light of day. Don’t talk to (or at) someone. Listen. Really listen. Speak with. Don’t hide behind what amounts to a meaningless display of one picture, for one day, that will be forgotten when the next media driven crisis arrives. DO something about it.
Give someone the best possible thing you can give them. A ready, willing ear, & a meaningful exchange. Ask yourself not what makes them different. LISTEN & HEAR what they say makes them different. Appreciate just how much you are the same.
Ask yourself if you are part of the solution. If the answer is “no”, then you are firmly part of the problem. Posting a little black square is not going to change any of it one single bit. No matter how good your intentions might be. Intentions do not matter. Actions do.
Oppression is not cured behind a keyboard. It happens by doing the hard work. That starts by listening, assessing, planning, and doing.
There is good news to come from this. In the past week, we are seeing more & more of people doing good things for each other. Treating each other with respect & kindness. Turn off & put down the media we call “the news” with laziness. They are part of the problem. More & more people are seeing it. More & more, people are calling them out for it. More & more, people are realizing that the VAST MAJORITY are not bad & the world is not filled with doom & gloom.
Be an American worth protesting for. Be a human worth standing up for. Either everyone’s life matters, or no one’s life matters. Period. #nuffsed
