Really enjoyed the video. Hopefully you keep making them! Gives me more confidence about starting my own shop!!
This guy made me a custom engraved aluminum block and welded my bike frame 🙂
ive also been a machinist/tool builder for the last 20 years and would like to transition over to working in my garage doing the same thing. how do you determine what an hourly shop charge is?
Very nice shop I'm about to buy my first machine for my home shop. What would you say you use most, mill or lathe?
Great set up and very best of luck with it 👍 thanks for sharing
badass shop! Hello from a 1 man garage shop from the West coast
Nice shop Travis.
I started my Automotive Machine shop in my two car garage over 38years ago.
I ran my shop on a Arco rotary phase converter.
Have Three phase now
Transitioned into my current facilty 37 years ago.
Starting out small is smart in my opinion.
You have a very nice setup.
I just subscribed to your channel.
Take care, Ed.
looks a great setup. do you regret not getting a lathe with a turret instead of manually swapping tools?
ZEE or ZED yous pays your money and takes your choice, nice shop dude
Nice shop, I have my own machine shop in my garage. It is tight I have two Haas mills in it. A mini mill 2 and a mini mill with a couple of proto Trak mills. Been wanting to get a Haas lathe. How do you like them and what kinda material you cutting on them?
Nice shop. Can't believe all the machines you fit in there. Ciao, Marco.
im in a similar boat.. smaller machines than yours , home business, 7 yrs, and yes you need to be a niche which is what many people dont realize when they want a home machining business. Im in airguns , which people find really odd ( who the hell uses pellet guns as an adult ?) . But the pneumatic parts I make have no direct competition in the US , so it works.
Sweet
As a retired machinist and welder, I'm envious. What a great setup. I believe that there's more advantages than disadvantages with a smaller workshop. Large overhead can be a killer. Investing that saved money into machine tools is very very very smart.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Are you on single phase on haas?
I'm software developer and I'm building my machine shop right now. No CNC in it yet, but hopefully one day.
Good video I'd like to know more. Good Luck
Just a thought, with the steel refuse, just fill the buckets up half way. Twice as light to carry. 🙂
Nice great job! awesome workshop!
I bought a tl2 a little while and I'm very impressed with it. I didn't get a chip conveyer and definitely regret it. Nice shop you made great use of the space
Would a dump trailer be useful for hauling your scrap?
Very nice home setup. Appreciate you letting us see it
Thinking of doing something similar. With the shop in your home garage, do you have insurance coverage on the machines? Was it hard to get?
Really nice shop! Are most of the products you make for car racing?
