As promised, I've taken some pictures of the shop and also made them 800 x 600. Some shots are a bit too dark because in a 9000 Square Foot place one flash doesn't light much up. If anyone wants any specific closeups, we can definitely provide more shots.
I warn people now though, the machine shop is significantly "dirtier" than the shipping/packing location. View it only if a little grease and dirt doesn't hurt your eyes.
The View from the overhead garage door by the office. The 3 CNC Machines are at the front.
The operation done on the closest machine in the last picture, where one of our guys was standing. The plate is for a Gimbal Bearing Puller tool for Mercury boats that we're almost done with.
Work in progress. Cut materials waiting for their time on the CNC equipment:
Our newest CNC Machine (2 months use on it at this point):
A shot to show the screen, which generated a 3D representation of the operation that was running.
The final product, a 55mm 12 point Socket for Ducati bike nuts:
Here's a few links on the new machine we got, it's pretty awesome:

YouTube - Okuma LB3000 EX test turn mill‎
The view from the back of the shop, where the lunch/lockers are out of view and the manual mills are seen:
The manual lathes:
Another shot of the pre-cut materials as well as two coal crushing rollers in progress:
The packing station in the shop. Underneath the table are the Engine Alignment Tools for Mercs and OMCs:
Hopefully this satisfies the curious!
