Was that the Doosan horizontal that was floating around the used market for around $70K? Looks in good shape.

I would fully expect for anyone who posts pictures of a new corvette and a new plane to be on the receiving end of some serious 'drama' from this forum
A lot of the guys on here are struggling to survive by working themselves half to death - and my hat is off to them for working hard and doing the best they can. I just understand where they're coming from, and why they might be a touch sensitive about a gorgeous new shop in a warm part of the country (it's freaking snowing here today again.)But for someone who missed everything else: what's your story? How long you been in business? What markets do you serve? Inquiring minds want to know how to afford their own plane!

Very nice tomb stone! We have a set up like that as well. Very productive and makes good use of the machine especially if you have a decent order to run.

I'm sure heaven will be much nicer.
Yes, in Arizona. We bought the lathe from the same shop. Both HMC has 1400 cutting hours, lathe has 850 cutting hours. we have about 80 hours total cleaning time into both machines and they look amazing now.

Snow, yuck... none of that white filth here! Story is a long one, just working hard all the time trying to make a living. Got 2 partners here for this shop. We are on the airport so might as well have a plane right?
Bi-fold doors are standard on hangars to get planes in/out. Look cool and open super wide but they sure are slow.

Was the plane bought as a business expenditure? You said you are putting the company name on the tail. I am seriously interested if this is the case. It should be justifiable you can just say you have to quickly deliver parts or travel to see customers.

Plane is personal but im sure we will figure out a way to tax write off things in the future.

Having your shop in a hangar is one perk the business provides to cut the cost of owning the plane!

Maybe I really come here for the drama - this forum is like a head-on, 100 mile an hour collision of "Titan: American Built" and "Jerry Springer" sometimes...
(Although Jerry Springer might be the more realistic of those two shows...)But I can't imagine anything more instigating than bragging about how much you've spent on your cars and planes to a bunch of guys trying to scrape a living out of this business.....except maybe saying a HAAS mini is better in every way than a Speedio. That's just straight troll-bait right there (and says a lot about this forum
)converterking

I find it more of an inspiration than instigation. If you are a slave to your shop, only you can change things.

We have a vision for our shop and want to see that vision become a reality. Takes an unbelievable amount of hard work to accomplish what the vision looks like and I'd like to share the journey to make this vision a reality so I can hopefully inspire more folks to do just as we are. Ignore the plane, ya its cool and all but its not the business... Take note of the machines we purchased, cleanliness of the shop, organization, etc...

What kind of machine do you have? I could use something.
