im not a machinist, but after briefly working in 2 large machine shops as production engineer/ & then sales engineer, I then establish a small shop that sells industrial small tools stuffs that includes digital calipers, micrometers, height gauge, & all those items used by machinist, i consider myself as part of the industry..

back then, & up to now of course, I really admire that imaginative CAD Technicians that draw that technical drawings to be interpreted & fashioned by the hardworking & skillfull machinist..

Somehow, for me, its nice that we had 1 subject- technical drawing in our engineering curiculum, it helps a lot. We still do not have CAD back then so you need to self study it.. Good thing, good paperback books are plenty & cheap..

up to now, every time i sold even just 1 unit of caliper or micrometer, i feel very nice, it is not just about the money, but because somehow i feel i belong to this wonderful industry.
