    If that is ALCOA Los Angeles, I've been there. You can't even imagine scale or scope of parts, atmosphere, or the personal feeling of being so small. They'd haul billets and forge something like a linkage, roll and slit sheet, shear thick-ass aluminum...They machined too, but didn't spend time in there.

    When I feel down about not running yet, that stuff; capital, overhead, maintenance, real estate, competition, even brand ™, ®,names of heavy hitters makes me feel WAY better.

    Lol Mark. Didn't know booger squashing as industrial process.

    [Below, I stole marksbug reply, and awesome typo]
