As some of you are aware, I work for/consult/sales manage the Jensen Steam Engine Company. It's a tiny company which was founded in 1932 and still supplies the whole world with the best available quality toy steam engines money can buy. No brag.... just the fact....(grin). It's been a labor of love with me for the past 17 years.
One of our dealers stopped by the factory recently and almost as an after thought broke out his video camera and spent sometime shooting the guys at work. When I say it's a tiny company, consider that 4 people produce all the engine needed to meet the demand. All the tooling was machined by the founder prior to his passing at 92 years old and every part is still handmade for each engine. In fact, aside from the web site I created for them, the highest tech item in the place is a fax machine and a hard wire telephone head set. The place is literally a step back to the 1930's when you enter the door.
Thought you guys might enjoy seeing the video....
