Machine Shop Tours

We take you inside machine shops around the world. See how metalworkers organize their shops, what type of work they typically do, and what kinds of machines and tools they use to get the job done.

Do you want to show off your shop, share your story and showcase your capabilities? Then you could be the next guest star of our Machine Shop Talk video series!
