I like seeing the combination of hand tools being used alongside the sophisticated machines. And the workers aren't rushing, they are being careful and checking over their work.
That was an interesting video and they probably put out a good product, but what if there is a frame failure due to manufacturer defect, will they fix it or disappear into the muck of Chinese law where no American law can stand and get no replacement under the warranty? Anyway, I feel much safer dealing with an American company like Lynskey than take my chances with a Chinese company, plus it helps American businesses to stay in business and American workers to stay employed.
