  1. The company still exists (I just checked) but it does other things these days. Still hyper precision stuff but the Jig Borers and CMMs seem to have gone the way of the dodo, which is kind of tragic. But on their website they will still sell you a copy of Wayne Moore's “Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy” and his father's book “Holes, Contours and Surfaces”

  2. Haven't you heard of contraception or did you do it on purpose???? Either way love to see you back doing stuff. Just so you know I am an aerospace engineer who had the long term plan to go to the moon and set up the first mining operation there. Your video on the Johansson gauge blocks is something I beat other engineers around the head with. You see if we are ever going to set up a moon base the fact is we just can't send all that we need to make it viable. From the very start we need to make stuff up there. One of the most important items in setting up a lunar base will be the set of Jo Blocks because they will be needed so that parts made on the moon will match parts sent from Earth. You do some really great work - keep it up.
