  Mind boggling number of parameters to code for. I'm in awe of their audacity.

  Thanks for going deeper without asking us to go to a different platform, really appreciate that.

  So I'm an EE who works in industrial manufacturing (welding robots, and some simpler machines) and these are by far the most generous with knowledge and interesting folks I've seen in ages. If they were near me I'd be trying to work with them. I'm amazed they let you film this much and I think everyone is better off for the experience!

  Its fun to see the math that blacksmiths had to do by eye for hundreds of years.  So many similarities between an ancient way of moving metal, and cutting edge tech.

  Can I place an order on a refrigerator front with Han Solo in carbonate? 😁

  I’m at a loss for words. I dropped out of college and took a Manufacturing Engineering job. Being in the field has actually made me want my degree more, I’m hungry for the knowledge. Inspiring to hear him talk about leaving school to go work several times. Thank you for sharing his story at the end. What an awesome video.

  The video on the main channel was magnificent, but this was next level. Absolutely brilliant video with super smart people - who are definitely getting smarter everyday. Loving this series, Destin. Thank you.

  Just the fact that these guys can reproduce car parts no longer manufactured makes me excited Obviously there are much more unique & creative markets for it but as a car guy, I can tell you that there are some body parts you just can't get anymore for classic cars without paying more than the car is worth. I would give anything to work in this facility even if I was just sweeping up after the machines

  The excitement in these guys while explaining what they are doing shows how much they enjoy what they do

  It would be interesting to see a sheet that is laser etched or something, with a checkerboard pattern, then formed into a part. I wonder if you would be able to see how the individual squares get squished and deformed. (Or maybe the pattern would just get flattened out and you wouldn't see it)

  I never thought I'd waste two hours watching videos about metal forming. Except it's not a waste. Thank you! I'm proud to be a patron, and I'm glad to help pay for it.
