what exactly does a tool/die person do? always wondered

Make and maintain dies. Dies go into punch presses and produce piece parts. A lot of the work Jimmy's shop did was produce metal rings for gaskets and transmissions.

If it's metal and stamped it came out of a die. Think anything from car fenders to small electrical terminals. I do the same thing and I've worked on dies that make everything from seat belt buckles to electric laminations that go inside electric motors.

Jimmy, I talked to a buddy of mine who is a self-employed machinist looking for work also. He said he was on a web site recently, like Monster or something similar and saw an ad that some place just South of Yorkville was hiring CNC machinists.
