I run manual machines and CNC machines and I may 55 gallon drum dies for Hannah steel and I also made the 5 gallon spike dial lids is which is the metal lids that have the bendable tabs. I’ve had to hold.0001 to .0002 tense tolerances at southern precision I made everything from the tunnel ways on the space station to the toilet seat mode you set your butt on I’ve done everything from made satellite dishes that they put on satellites that they put in space I made them made multiple things. I know what they were. They were from the military.

I run manual machines and CNC machines at J electric I was working at southern precision and Jay electric at the same time
