Cool vid of a motorcross helmet being machined from a block of aluminum. Must have took quite a while, lots of very intricate details.

Probably a couple million. At least. Then hiring somebody to teach you to run it..... somebody else to fix it after a programming error.....

Awesome helmet though!

Could you imagine how hot that helmet would get in 90deg temps in the sun all day?

I actually used to do some consulting work for the company that manufactures these machines.. It is a German company, and they make some really awesome machines. As a token of appreciation they Milled me a Pen out of a solid block of Aluminum... I really wish that I still worked with them, they were some of the nicest people I have ever worked with.....
