Well, I hired my first employee.  Full time.

One of my old customers, actually.  He ended up leaving his job and a few days later I hired him here.

This will really free me up to do a lot of other things.  Might be able to drop down to a 8-10 hour day soon :D

My largest customer is shifting more work my way.  Probably an additional 40 hours a week of work for the next six months.

I'm also planning for the next machine already.  There's a long run job (think 20 years here) that I could take over, but I'd need another lathe to put it on.

Things are happening.

:)

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Outstanding!! Way to go ML!! Business growing, hiring employees, etc. Hell, you might be the guy who turns the whole damn economy around. [thumbsup] [clap] I can push a broom, let me know when you need to hire another employee! [laugh] Seriously, congrats. I love this thread. [popcorn] [bow_down]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

If I ever get big enough to move to a big building I'm putting in my own indoor range :D

You'd be welcome to visit.

Kev...

Make...

Suppressors...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I am, right now at this moment, reading about suppressor construction.

I have a modular idea in my head, and I can't seem to find a similar design on the net.

I'll have to make one and someone will have to tell me how it works. . .

Legally speaking, you'll probably have to be the one to test it.  Or at least be present, at time of testing and then take the item back into your possession immediately there after.

I get the impression I should probably have my FFL in place before I even build it.
