Oh, the memories...
I could go on and on regarding hazmat issues no one acknowledged as such at the time. Mechanics washing that gray seal (ever see one licking his fingertip and using it to get that perfect fillet on a lap joint?) off of their bare hands in a pan of 50/50 MEK/toluene, with a cigarette dangling out of their mouths. And, again, going to lunch without any further clean-up.
That's the problem, Mike - you guys are about 30 years too late. "Back in the day" a machinist would happily whittle away on it (while smoking a cigarette) then sweep the chips right into the trash, to be sent to the local landfill. Then he would proudly show off his work station to his wife and kids at the next open house. Maybe even let one of his boys make some chips for awhile. Then treat them all to lunch...
