That's cool stuff, Looks like your son builds some nice fixtures that it's obviously necessary to be quite Heavy Duty. Lotta man hours in those fixtures.

Only asked as I've done Tool and Die, Prototype, Rubber and Plastic Moldmaking, lots of CNC programming and operation and currently repairing Plastic Injection Molds.

Other than making my own stuff about the only segment of the industry I haven't been in is the Automotive motor side though I did machine lots of axles, spools, gear drives, main caps, rotors etc when I worked for the long defunct Summers Brothers many years ago.

Betcha a 5-Axis machine would come in handy for some of that work.
Thanks for providing all the images, I enjoyed looking them over.

He is working on many more new machines. 5 axis is one but he buys everything cash. So the machines he can afford are first. The 2 new bed mills and the new lathe were affordable. He just bought a crank grinder and a new balancer. Our place is to small so he bought a old salvage yard with large buildings. Its the budget that is holding him back plus a baby on the way. We have to get the house finished. Then the new shop. The 3 phase equipment need to be in the shop. That leaves the sheds and race trailers for all other machines until moving into the new place. He just bought a 40 foot goose neck trailer yesterday so we can pick up and move machines. A new Case excavator is the next on the list. The trenher is getting old and the skid loaders are to heavily abused since we sold the small excavator. He also sold the yellow 36 ft trailer to buy the 40 ft.
