Many of you might know him from Vintagemachinery.org, but you may know him even better as Keith Rucker – The Agricultural Scientist/Machinist. Come with us as we head down to Georgia to meet with Keith and hang out at his shop as well as visit a few of his favorite places along the way. He gives us the background on how and why he got started in machining, why he needed three-phase power, and why he chose American Rotary to help make his shop what it is today. | American Rotary
