An example of one of those who make the rest of us look very bad. BTW, I was a machinist before I was an engineer. One of the funniest (to me and my shipmates) was when a Lieutenant engineer picked up a hand full of brown & blue stainless steel chips off the top of the ways. Somehow he didn't equate oil sizzling with HOT! don't touch it lunk head.
BTW, nice score. Going to vent it outside?
