It has taken over a year since I made the decision to start my own business, but after the electricians left yesterday, my shop is finally in a working state. Those who know me are familiar with my story, but for those who don't know, here you go in a condensed form:
While my wife was expecting our first child, I picked up a manual 3-in-1 machine and started having fun with it - to my suprise, I really enjoyed working with it. After my son was born 3 years ago, my wife and I decided we would need to move out of california to raise our son the way we wanted to and live the life we wanted for our family. In a nutshell, Southern California has become an increasing hostile environment to the average American worker. We finally settled on moving to Idaho and started getting things in order about a year ago. I traded the manual mill for an older CNC machine and began collecting other equipment. We finally made the move this August and I have spent the last few months getting everything ready. I also picked up a CNC lathe along the way to round out my capabilities.
I know, enough talk, how about some pictures?
My shop.
My 4 axis CNC mill.
My CNC lathe.
My 'office' and workbench.
My commute to work. Yes, that is my kitchen.
Please, don't use this thread to ask for work. There are other ways to reach me if you would like to. Besides, not having my equipment for a few months means I am really back-logged at the moment. I just wanted to show off what has consumed a large part of my life the past few months and thought some of you might be interested.
