From a young age, I was struck by the magic of the workshop. Finely elaborated, precise mechanics of the measuring instruments. The subtle clicking sound of the micrometer's ratchet. Oil smoke from the block spark. The spark of steel as the grinding stone cuts into it. The discoloring chip, as the cutter carves the raw steel block and during machining, forms the mold bit, tool plate that the designer dreamed up and cast on paper.
Just as the “old foxes” solve tasks with their highly esteemed tools, secret devices, polished grips for decades. It is teamwork without which tools cannot be realized, because it takes the total dedication of dozens of people and the humility to the profession to make a tool out of raw steel.
It is not primarily the business that drives us, but the recognition and the noble feeling when we put two halves of the tool together, install the lifting bridge on it and put the tools down, we sigh: done, you can go for the test!
