> [@ImportMuscle](#): > > Richards Machine Tool Co. > > Basically a big job shop, but we had BIG machines and a 20 ton overhead crane. It was actually pretty fun working there. Random jobs kept you on your toes, thinking, and kept you interested. Allot better than some of the P.H.D shops I worked in (Push Here Dummy) 😛 > > Edit: it was on Walden Ave. In Lancaster. Right Next too HC brill. Unfortunately I’m laid off right now due too lack of work flow, so I’m taking the opportunity too go back to school with my free time. If anybody gets a chance too work there I highly recommend it. Denny is a crazy ol bastard, but hes a good fair guy and great too work for. That and he knows his shit and hes always willing to teach as long as your willing too listen. My current boss used to work at Richards. There are only a few places in this area capable of machining parts weighing 2-3 tons and I work for one of them ([http://www.snyderindustriesinc.com/](http://www.snyderindustriesinc.com/)). Was just curious which one you worked at. ---

Denny’s place is a like a cave, he cuts so much ductile cast and that fuckin dust goes everywhere. And he refuses to hire a cleaning crew ---

I find it ironic/funny that nobody cares where their work boots are made. Their motto should be “Taking the work right out from under your feet”. Here is a fun litle factoid… ready?.. are you sure?.. 51,000 plants in the USA have closed in the USA in recent years. ---

I have an old pair of grip fast that I prefer to Docs. Docs are not comfortable at all and lack any and all ankle support. I just walked about 10 miles over the last two days in my Brahma Swat boots, they are steel toe. all in all not too bad. I would still prefer to have something that would last a little longer. ---

Denny’s place is a like a cave, he cuts so much ductile cast and that fuckin dust goes everywhere. And he refuses to hire a cleaning crew I forgot Pete worked for Richards too…he is our shop floor inspector. I work in the engineering department and my boss is Dave Pouliot. We moved into this building a few years ago and Tom has been pretty anal about keeping the place looking top notch. The shops appearance goes a long way when walking customers through. It has helped us contract work from big operations like Komatsu. ---
