Craftsman cherishes old tech at tiny Michigan shop
Mulliken resident John Hall, 30, runs Old Tyme Metal Works in a small Michigan hamlet west of Lansing. He loves 1910 era items, repairs antique cars and oddities using 1920s tools, and keeps a 1914 drill press, a 10 cent pop machine, and a potbellied stove powered by wood. Hall resists disposability, hoping to rescue aging waifs of society.
