Apt Machining and Fad in Kasota, Minnesota.

Great tour... I'm constantly marveling at how much CNC has changed our world, much more rapid development of new everything. I'm officially ancient. Been a mechanic, builder & fab guy since my teens. Used to be new tools or household stuff would come out in cycles of years, now it's months, if not weeks. CAD & CNC have dramatically reduced idea to prototype time. Combine that w/ automated manufacturing & you have the present. Didn't see the date & where you are in your journey to Fl, but I will be... Thanks, & great job. GeoD

Born and raised in Minnesota. Worked for a company on 3rd av in Mankato which is just down the road from Kasota. Drove through Kasota many many times. Very small I was surprised there was any industry there at all. Thank you for the video.

Ok, the round part you picked up and set back down. You flipped it end for end. Hope both ends were the same. .

Four 10 Hour days. A fair few years ago I worked in a shop running the same shift. Monday through to Thursday with a 3 day weekend. It was good. But, If it was a Public Holiday on your working day, you would be paid the standard day rate for 8 Hours ?? A few guys weren't happy about missing the 2 Hours of pay ?? So the boss said, Ok we can go back to working 8 hours 5 days a week. NO one complained after that 😅
