EXACTLY!!!!
You can have the best Engineers, best welders, best type of materials ,best cad system design etc...
But !! At the end of the day the machine that one makes needs to do a specific task ..and do it well. so in my opinion that comes with Years of experience in the trade that the machine is made for, ...lets say one is making a wheeling machine or a reciprocating machine or a planishing hammer etc, you need to have the machine working with minimum effort and do exactly what the machine task was made for, one may need to change a few things on the way but the results need to be right . If the machine is not preforming the way intended... one would know because of his experience
if not ..well give it away........

PS in my case I have design and built machine for the metalshaping trade that where not quite exactly doing the task that I built them for, so they ended up on the scrap bin
