My moms father and my father-in-law are both major keepers of arcane knowledge. Moms dad was a Millwright and has a garage full of stuff and contraptions he's made and fabricated with all of the precision tools in standard units. We cruised the mountains during hunting season in a completely home made 4X4 running on a 1940's 4 cylinder, air cooled, Wisconsin haybaler engine (still runs like a top too!).

The in-law dad worked at a place that restores really old cars (they did work on Jay Leno's Stanley Steamer) and he machined\fabricated parts that didn't exist anymore from raw metal .

Its bizarre to see standard clocks heading into this realm...
