That is truly insulting. I would have asked him what he does for a living and broke it off in his azz. People have no idea the talent needed to produce true precision out of metal, let along in a repeatable way 6x.
He didn't mean it that way....he's a good guy that I do a lot of special projects for. He
used to ask if he could hang over my shoulder and watch.
I don't work that way and need to be in the mood before chips start flying.
Good shootin' -Al
