Great video, Rob. I loved spending time in your shop. It feels like a warm, clean, friendly place to work. I had no idea how much time actually went into every REO. Do you recycle all those aluminum shavings? I can imagine how much you must end up with every day. Wouldn't want to walk around your machines barefooted.....

I don't just stand there I have lots of other jobs to do while the machine is grinding away . One does need to keep a eye on the machine though . I have a tool changer on that machine but its down at the moment bad sensor .
Awesome vid Rob!!!! Always wanted to see how these wonders of modern vaping were made! Here I always thought it was unicorns and leprechauns!!

Back in the Stone Age, when I was in school, I took 3 years of machine shop. Everything was manual, and every operation would have to be done on separate machines. Operations like that would take forever. Today's CNC machines fascinate me.
lol you old coot I believe they had cnc machines even when you was young . They used cards with punch holes in them for the code
Hey, I remember those when I first started, except it was holes punched in a tape that fed thru the reader. 
They probably did. But we didn't have any in our school shop. In fact, many of our machines were antiques, even back then. We had old lathes and mills that were built in the '30s. I think the first programmed machines I ever saw were sheet metal machines, probably in the mid '70s.
Just re watched the vid, and I gotta say, pretty damned amazing for self taught. Another thing that most probably don't realize is the time involved in planning, and programming all that to begin with.
So....after much thought, i dont want reo engraved on mine.......
HOOPLE!!!!!!
Thats what i want on mine!!!!

I really enjoyed the video Rob.
It brought back memories of a few years I spent in a job where we ground gears and whatnot. Made the countershafts for the tranny in the Dodge Cummins diesel and other stuff. I didn't setup the cnc though, just load, unload and try to pay attention so as not to loose a finger or hand. That was 20 yr ago and some of the machines were new, others not so much.
One thing for sure, that video just makes me love and appreciate my Reos that much more. Thanks for all you do mate.

Ditto! This is labor intensive art at its finest and you don't see little kids being paid peanuts to do it! Bravo Modmaster!
P.s. I loved the music in the background of the video too. Did I hear some Windam Hill or George Winston?
whene is possible purchase one Reo P 67
