Average day in the shop…………..mostly myself, but I have a few part timers for help. Last two years have been the best ever in my 22 years of running the shop……………….
My story can be found on Practical Machinist……………………….

You definitely have a vise vice.
Got a little dizzy watching the video….try to slow down a little with panning around with the camera lol. But great video, thank you
Someone knows what their doing.
Found it on PM— 40 x 60 shop with 12’6” sidewalls. Thanks for posting the link!
Sweet setup, how big is your shop??
love it
Horrible vid – too many sweeping camera motions making me sick
I think you're on practical machinist. Nice video, nice shop
You dont have to drive far get to work lol
Keep your materials outdoors ? good luck
Nice shop Dude.
This is literally what I'm working towards putting in 65hr weeks at my job for the past 6 months I like working as a cnc machinist but I dislike having to follow orders and rules from people who have no clue what it takes to be a good machinist. I realize having a shop is no easy task and comes with a lot of stress but I rather take on that added stress for the reward of creating something I can be proud of. Care to do a video on how you accomplished having such an awesome one man shop?
I don't think you should have so much material laying around outside 😀
How the heck do you do all that with only 1 guy!?
Please more 🙂
Holy cow man!!! For being a one man operation, you're doing an incredible job. Thanks for sharing some awesome motivational material man, this is dream material for me.
Fricken awsome set up!
What advice would you give for someone who wants to start there own CNC machine shop?
First question, that comes up – that dirt road, which leads to your shop… Isn't it causing any problems to those, who arrive after the chips and finished parts? Second question, that comes – when it becomes necessary to fully replace a machine to a new one – isn't it hard to pull outside the old one, and bring inside a new one in such a tight place?
Very nice shop!!
Hi from Argentina, I'm an IT professional but I have a electromechanical background and I'm slowly filling up my cnc workshop mostly for hobby. I watched the video taking mental note about every machine and tool at display, finding if I have an equivalent one and daydreaming about my next purchase. Anyway thanks a lot for the shop tour its truly nice.
