Beater, those were awesome videos!
I try my best to support my local craftsmen when possible.
From the design, pattern building, casting, machining (myself), and polishing. My parts are American made. Try to recruit local young men and have good luck with some that want to learn (and make money).
People complain about not having good jobs. It is their own fault, buying US made creates jobs. Those paychecks buy products and it will be a revolving wheel. Factory jobs are the key, not service industry.
