Feb. 21, 2025 - This week's perfomative shenanigans by our spineless politicians of every stripe about a possible trade war with the US made me think about the work I did in manufacturing. These images are from full scale 3D computer models I designed and built for manufacturing purposes. Every components and parts are real including the nuts and bolts and the holes they go into. I can take parts of the model and send it electronically to be cut and shaped with all the bolt holes by laser or gas torches and made ready for assembly.
In all my career I have experienced the decline in manufacturing, lack of inovation, and the "stick in my wheels" from our elites. They believe manufacturing should be left to other countries unless the government pays for it as in corporate wellfare. They want us to be happy with just selling our natural resources. But we still have brave men who built the above machines or other equipment, make money, built a legacy for themselves, and still believe in manufacturing.
