Hi all, Well it`s true. No matter what size machine you buy, the next job requires more machine. I`ve been browsing this site for a couple of months casually reading through some of the builds. Decided to buy a small lathe and mill to satisfy my renewed interest. My wife mentioned to her boss that I had bought the tools and he offers me work that requires a larger lathe. :bang: Figuring that the side work would quickly pay for the larger lathe I bought that too. 3 weeks later they offer me more work that requires cnc but would quickly pay for itself. :doh: We`ll see what happens next.

Whoohoo having the hobby pay for itself is nice. When I went through a period of unemployment, my mill and lathe paid my mortgage. Welcome to the collective :borg: Eric |

Hi Ray Welcome to MadModders. It is nice to be able to do some work to help pay for your hobby but I hope that it doesn't turn it from a hobby into work as then it ceases to be fun. You may even be able to turn it into a full time business but don't put all your eggs in one basket. Since :worthless: you will have to show us a few pics of some of your projects as you get a chance. If you have any questions there is always someone here willing to answer or at least give an opinion. :lol: :lol: Just be sure to save enough time for yourself as :proj: is infecting everyone here. Cheers :beer: Don |

Welcome to the collective Ray. :borg: Like your motorcycle. I hear they are not to fast. :lol: Lucky for you you have a wife that finds you jobs that you like to do. Mine finds jobs I don't like to do. I just wish it would include getting bigger equipment. (now for some reason that doesn't sound right) Anyway have fun. Regards, Bernd |
