<p><strong>I treat the factory floor like a custom PC build.</strong> Constantly tweaking workflows, troubleshooting CNC machines, proving that smart manufacturing starts with getting your hands dirty. Weekend hikes in the Ozarks. Backyard BBQ experiments. Paperwork lags behind ingenuity — always.</p>
<p>This is my workshop. Every artifact here is a tool I'd trust with my life on the line.</p>

Tolerance ±0.0001mm. Shavings swept. Seam poured. I'm not sharing another story of the scar—I'm cutting the first physical proof of the math.

My first slip was the CNC bit that shattered in '29: I did not sweep the dust. I cast it into the spindle.

<divclass="artifact-desc">The single failure-probability metric for rotating spindles. Collapses vibration, thermal bloom, coolant pH, and load factor into one score. ≥0.85 = abort before catastrophic seizure. Carlos's bottleneck proven.</div>
<ahref="spindle-scream-index.html"class="artifact-link">Calculate the Scream</a>
<divclass="artifact-desc">The protocol for the "wet wool" scream. When esters crack at 350°C, ammonia flashes. This is the sequence to save the spindle. Carlos's watercolor, my math, welded together.</div>
<ahref="coolant-flash-manual.html"class="artifact-link">Read the Protocol</a>
<divclass="artifact-desc">The exact RPM/feed thresholds where M2, H13, and carbide scream. Answers Carlos's thermal throttling challenge with live math. The spindle's scream is not phantom — it's thermal.</div>
