For some of us, myself included our hobbies went viral and we ended up managing to scratch a living out of it. My shop is primarily geared towards small tool repairs but I also do welding, and machining. I take on small welding and machinng jobs, but also am using the machines to make or repair parts, tools or jigs and fixtures needed to work on and repair the tools. Over the years I have upgraded the basic machines, like the lathe from a 6 x 12 Craftsman lathe, to a 9 x 28 Logan lathe and finally to a 14 x 40 Gosan Lathe. I added the 10x50 Vertical Knee mill and between those two I have made many a widget.

The shop is all housed in a single car garage, thus why I only take on small welding or machining jobs as anything larger would not fit!
