Great video. The first 2 steps - pressing flat metal into a cup and then pressing the cup into a deeper, narrower cup - is pretty much the same thing they do to make aluminum beer cans; which is also a pretty impressive process. Good thing they are so far away. Otherwise I might be tempted to sneak over and steal a couple of those pallets off their dock. That's keep a feller in plinkin' boolits for a spell.

Thanks for the link. I always enjoy watching production processes. It's really interesting to see how they designed the machines.

Eh, I get factory-direct deliveries at an undisclosed location which accounts for most of them. Cornered the market. :whistle:
