I spent some time with my Uncle Dick, my cousin Dave and my Dad- We all use the same barber! We had lunch together but first spent some time at
Young Manufacturing-Dick and Dave's business.
Young Manufacturing does a wide variety of metal stamping ,welding and laser cutting. Here is the University of North Dakota Logo.
Here is the laser that made those items.
A bandsaw that my dad made many years ago when he was in business with Dick.
Little did I know when I was 12 years old cutting scrap wood on this machine that some day I'd do this for real.
Here is Uncle Dick with a block and tackle he made. To the right you can see the new pieces he fabricated for this large punch press.

Roland and Richard or as we who know and love them simply say:
Rolly and Dick.
You are looking at the faces of American ingenuity and manufacturing.
These two have made more dies, jigs, tools and "things" than any sane person could imagine!
