You missed something.

I am a machinist. Therefore, I know exactly what I'm seeing.

I see a distinct lack of second operations and/or hand work to finish. It's the type of work that doesn't leave my shop.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
