This book is not just a compilation of rants about how messed up the machining industry iseverybody knows that, right? Poor workmanship, a workforce that doesnt care . . . head fake! I dont believe that, and neither should you. If it were up to you and me, we would all want to be properly trained, and wed all want to put out a good productsomething to be proud of. Who wouldnt want to tell their kids, See that bridge over there? I helped design it or I poured the molds for the castings or I made the rivets that hold that thing together? We all want to be able to brag about what weve contributed to the overall.But no, this book is meant to completely change the machining world as we know it. I want to be instrumental as the driving forceto personally spearhead a movement to turn this industry around and make it safe for everyone to drive across bridges, live near an oil pipeline, or maybe even ride a roller coaster without the actual fear that, yes, you might die.The good news is, the status quo can be changed. We can all live in a world where quality and engineering decisions can be made by inspectors and engineers instead of corporate executives. And the time to make that change is now!
