Milton-Freewater metalsmith hopes to carry on legacy of friend, mentor and owner of Hard Rock Machine Works

MILTON-FREEWATER — Mike Pierce went into former machine shop Hard Rock Machine Works in Walla Walla, Washington, to get a lug nut removed from his 1964 Baja Bug Volkswagen just before closing time.
The shop owner, David Young, told him not to worry about the price, and Pierce asked if he was hiring. Though the answer was no, Pierce persistently came into the shop and even started sweeping the floors for free.
After an employee didn’t get some parts right, Pierce made them the right way, and he was hired.
This sparked a longtime career in machining and welding and opening his machine job shop in Milton-Freewater, Pierce Precision Machines, LLC, which provides custom machining, fabricating and welding services.
