They actually do CNC machines and other large mills and lathes. Some of the stuff is 25 feet long and over 10 feet tall. Crazy big stuff.

Learning new stuff is always fun, though. It's one of my favorite parts of the design business. I have learned tons of info about random stuff like green power, forklifts, ATVs, industrial machinery, street sweepers, amongst other things.

The company makes and imports heavy industrial machinery and there are so many product lines to learn and sort out that it makes my head spin. Just wondering, is it things like bulldozers, cranes, tooling equipment, engines, etc. It can be quite an interesting field. I wish you good luck (or "break a leg" as they say in the entertainment industry). I guess you'll be grinding down for the next 4-6 months as you get up to speed. It's always fun to be learning something new (as long as you have a decent boss).

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..... CNC! Mills! Lathes! Oh I love that stuff! As a watchmaker I'm constantly interacting with machinists/machine shops, and I'm always fascinated by the newest machinery. I use a jewelers lathe for work (10", not exactly something your company is likely to carry). The machinists I work with make the watch cases and some of the 316L custom steel parts that I use with my watches. Uhhhhhhhh, can you you get me any discounts?

j/k about the discounts. Anyways it is very interesting stuff to me.
