Seoul Day 1: Eating and Tool Making

The machine below is cutting a tool that will be used for molding this cell phone's cover. It's an EDM ( Electrical Discharge Machine) and it cuts without touching the workpiece... sparks remove the material through metlting and vaporization, then the particles are washed away with the dialectric fluid shown.These are my buddies Tiger and Jhoney (not a typo) who I work with almost everyday -- it's good to finally meet them in person.
No chairs in the restaurants--not my most comfortable meal, but very tasty.
