Precision, Passion, and Progress: A Candid Conversation with Jerry Rex, Our Guest of Honor

Tony Gunn, host of the Gunn Show podcast, lit up with excitement as he dove into the latest gem he’d discovered on his journey through American manufacturing history—the American Precision Museum.

Tucked away in the heart of Windsor, Vermont, this museum is like walking onto the set of a time-traveling documentary, where the machines of yesterday tell the story of today’s tech revolution. The museum is a living homage to the American industrial spirit, showcasing the birth of precision manufacturing that paved the way for modern CNC technology. With iconic machines dating back to the 1800s, it’s like stepping into the “Smithsonian of manufacturing,” but with the gears and gadgets that actually shaped the world we live in.

Why should you see it in person?

Well, it’s like seeing where your favorite action movie was filmed—it’s not the same as just watching it. You get up close and personal with the exact tools that built America’s backbone. Whether you’re a history buff, a manufacturing nerd, or just someone who loves a good story, this place is packed with inspiration. The museum hosts interactive exhibits and hands-on experiences that highlight not just where we’ve been but where we’re going, showing how precision manufacturing continues to evolve.

But, if you can’t make the trek to Vermont, don’t fret!
