You're at the age where you could tuck a VMC and maybe a lathe into a garage someone, and make some coin. Build a business. I did it later in life and I'm glad I did, but thinking back, I should've done it years sooner. DO IT. One little job here, another there, and you've got a great secondary income that eventually becomes your primary business. Go for it. Jashley73 liked this post.

She swung it at me as hard as she could from a few feet away. That quickly proved to be a huge mistake as it put my nuts about degrees to the back side of trajectory off the big end of the cord. The cord hit ass high, and as the stupid plug began to whip around me and gain velocity as the length shortened physics you know, I learn the hard way the length happened to be perfect for the plugs final destination to be my right testicle! Instantly down for the count! Almost puked. So there I lay on the hard basement floor, with a broken knee, and totally immobilized with pain, as two females just commenced to go about their business.

What they are doing is looking for the cheapest possible price, often from someone who thinks they can make a living by being the cheapest.

Then most of them pay in 90 days. Some pay in 6 months if you call nonstop. We have an unbelievable number of big box store support warehouses moving in. I understand that as a trade we are in competition with automation and overseas. But if we dont stop cutting eachothers throats on bids and do something about the pay, in way less then a generation we will have "ZERO" manufacturing left. Originally Posted by Ox.

Just that flip alone could be a good move by it'self! You are overplaying yourself a bit, but I git it. You are young. I started my shop 22, and my classmate started his before he was even out of high skewl. Over 30 yrs later, I still put in lots of hours. No better time to start than young if you either have the experience, or can figger Schidt out yourself.

You have years enough that you can make a few mistakes and rebound. It's the guys starting in their 50's after their kids are out the door that scares me! They just don't have time to recover from mistakes, and maybe they won't make many, but there is too much out of our control, and have to weather years long periods sometimes.

With the current status of the boomers retiring, and customers questioning supply chain issues, this is set to be the best time since the start of the Second Great War to start a shop! And quite honestly - this has become an old man's career.

There aren't many here that are under 50 yrs old that are an actual machinist. We started yet when you were shown a Bridgeport and an engine lathe, and you had to learn how to make parts.

With CNC, CAM, and a set-up man, there are a lot of folks changing parts, but are not able to connect all those dots on their own. Don't pay much mind to the hotdog cart guys. Those guys are posting that Shiite from the beach and can pay cash for their carts if they want them. They're just grumpy old men. You might git there one day too Only word of caution that I read in your initial post is that you sound like you are eager to git the best and newest equipment right outta the gate.

If that is the work that you find - then you need to fetch that kind of equipment. Even a Haas can make good parts as I'm told. Something else to throw in with that is there are a lot of old guys winding down small shops as we speak, he could pick up some of that and the machines that run it. Talk with some of those guys around you.
