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!
