so I spent 4 years at the U studying mechanical engineering and in those 4 years saw as many white women in my classes as I saw in this 2 minute video. Go figure..
Precision some of what you say is true but lowest pay goo Houston and you'll make bank if you have skill just throwing that out there I can't complain 80k isn't so bad
This is nice to see. But I don't care if you have every degree they offer in the world. It does not make you a Precision Machinist! And you are not just going to enter a shop, turn on a few switches, listen to a few words of wisdom from some professor and start machining precision parts. It takes years of experience to be a real machinist. It's not a "funky" course you take on your way to a desk job in mechanical engineering. It's also the highest skilled, lowest paid profession there is.Strange
Hands on! Do it girl ! This is how it's done. 3 dimensional thinking is just the start. material feeds and speeds will determine the machine and it's operation. next is rigidity for the part and the tool. then comes the fun part..start widdlin'! PS before i always start any operation i think to myself, what would i do if......? Respect the machine...because it has no respect for you. Being confident is Ok...but overconfidence will get you hurt...or worse. I'm glad to see this. good for you.
Nice shop, but sooo many safety violations...watches, jewelery, loose clothing (shirts not tucked in, etc), and hair just in ponytails (not tucked up under hats). These machines are not toys. They will eat you alive if given the chance. PLEASE tighten up your safety requirements! If you are unsure, then research and find out what needs to be done and make the students stick to it with the utmost rigidity! PLEASE DO IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS TURNED INTO HAMBURGER MEAT!!
@morganredhawk So true. I really like to see young people doing 'hands on' engineering. Many of the school and college workshops look very neat,tidy and professional, but sadly are let down by the points that you raise. As you say, these machines are not toys and they will certainly cause you a mischief if they catch you!
Hi, thanks for your input. This video was shot during a spontaneous visit to the machine shop, and we filmed whoever happened to be there at the time. But we will certainly take your comment into consideration for future videos.
Designing things and then making them come true is fun as hell.
As an architect I can't really get my hands dirty with what I design. So I need to do what you do in my spare time. Lucky for you, you will be doing it in the work hours and will be getting paid for it too ...sigh.

Great stuff here, love to see some young people interested in the precision machining field. Keep em coming.

@hla27b mechanical engineering is SO MUCH BETTER than structural/civil engineering... and that's being said from personal experience!
