 Can't generate the right word, so Awesome will have to do.  You're not just out there doing it, you're doing it pretty well.  All I have is a Bridgeport, an old Monarch 10EE and a 3 credit hour community college machine shop class under my belt.   Really incredible how just that has really expanded what I can do and fix.  Lots of fun.

Made the cover article of the February issue of Modern Machine Shop magazine!

I'm very proud of my employees and thankful for the unending support of friends, family and excellent customers that helped get us where we are now.

Thank you all!

Thanks for the kind words. A lot of what I know is self taught as well. No actual degree for me.

Sometimes I dream of having things scaled back to just me and a couple machines (I don't even own a manual lathe. Wish I did)

Figure it like this- you don't have to come up with like $20k every month to stay floating. That's not a bad thing Smiley

I hate to say it, but I've discovered vanilla rum drool

Malibu Rum & Coke is one of my faves. It's a bit weak but it tastes good.

Of course not-in this case, the pointy end goes down.



Congrats, Mr. Ames.

Man, I'm just gonna say it.

This is one of those days I miss punching a time clock and getting a paycheck.

They're few and far between but they're out there.

This post wouldn't have anything to do with your simultaneous post extolling the joys of the camper?  

Feel like getting away?    Wink

Always.

I actually forgot about the camper thread. I ran across it looking for this one and decided to update Smiley

It was only right.
