2021 Picture of the Year Finalist – 02

January 19, 2026

Congratulations to Ingmar Thut and T&T In Situ Machining Group from Norderstedt, Germany, using the CLIMAX CM6200 Circular Mill to successfully re-machine the inner and outer flange of this buoy to achieve the flatness needed. Creatively, T&T flipped the setup by welding poles to the buoy to allow for additional surface, using only four legs to clamp and align. The flatness and surface qualities came out perfectly!
