Being in the tool business has allowed me access to some amazing places that few will ever see. Most of these shots were taken in the machine shop area of a local knife factory. Started in 1840, Lamson and Goodnow is one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the USA. This particular building dates from the late 1800's. Old tools and ancient greasy machines are everywhere throughout the facility and a thick layer of grime permeates every surface. It is in short, a fascinating place. :)
