I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, but just spotted it on Facebook

Well, I'm a quarter hour into it and I must say that it is very hard to watch and listen to.

Certainly, he's a really lucky fellow to be given such a time-consuming tour!

Bruce (SPS) is given a good shout-out early on.

Hopefully it gets better as it goes on, but I'll definitely watch the whole thing regardless of how it all goes.

Thanks for posting this link Nick!!!

I've now completed the tour, and though I couldn't make out most of what Mr. Guy was saying most of the time, and I did get rather tired of the many repetitive comments by the videographer. It was also rather annoying looking at the floor and people's feet so often, as well as only rarely getting to see the upper half of anything that was being looked at during the tour. All that criticism being said, I probably would not, nor even could not have done any better myself, and likely would have done much worse!

I'd still recommend watching the video to see all the amazing fixtures and jigs created by Tom Sr. along with the incredibly primitive conditions that the overall shop represents.

Seems likely to me that we will someday lose the Jensen manufacturing "plant" to a catastrophic fire .... but I surely do hope not!

One hour and five minutes...then I had to give up. Sure would have been nice to see some faces vs. neck down on every angle. Hats off to Andy for taking the time, but Mr. Bard needs to go back to videographer school....

Sorry to say I think it's a "have to watch" video 'cause after the ten or fifteen minutes I'd couldn't hack it any longer. I'll for sure watch the rest for the good parts and info but I've got to get my strength back first.

😂 Haha, I didn’t know it was so bad when I shared it, like I said, I still haven’t had a chance to watch it, but thought it would be good to at least see inside the factory

Watched it all,(1:21.32) just Wow, that's awesome, ingenious, incredible, one of the most descriptive & truly humble videos on Jensen Mfg I have viewed. I did have to cringe when that rather heavy #50 S/V was dropped on that brand new plinth.
