I have been a lurker on this forum for while and decided it was time to post.
I'm 29 years old and have been working for "the man" for the past 10 years in a 7 man in house toolroom as a moldmaker. About 5 years ago I started building the shop and collecting machines. I do a wide variety of work, mostly fixturing and automation work, some bending dies and quick turn around machine work for local manufacturing companies. On my own time I do almost anything from building corn stoves, rebuilding motorcycles, engine swaps, jet-engines.... ect.
The building is 36' X 60' with a wall dividing it down the middle. My shop is is one side with storage and misc machines on the other. I plan to finish the entire building once another storage building is built. Central heat and AC, primary heat is from one of my corn stoves. All Three phase power is produced by a Phase Perfect phase converter. On the "cold" side I have a 52" foot shear, 48" box and pan brake, 24" Rockwell verticial bandsaw, 48" Skat-Blast unit, powder coating spray booth and home built oven.
1990 LeBlond Makino RMC-55 3-axis CNC, I use Pro-E and Pro Manufacturing for design work and programming.
Bridgeport step pulley mill, 15" Clausing Lathe, Miller MIG and Tig welders, Plus a Hypertherm plasma cutter under the table
Harig 612 Ballway grinder with "shaker" box vacuum base
