Thanks Josh. Coming together…. It’s funny I got 4 new big machines since I filmed this in December. I’ll be slowing down on machines though. Minus a large lathe I am pretty set on machinery.
Hey brother, this is an advice and not criticism. It doesn’t bother me but since I have the same problem and someone called me out on it, I’ve been way more vigilant to avoid it. I’m talking about repeating same words, jargons, and details about your focus. I’ve noticed you have repeated some descriptions and explanations. Some viewers may get annoyed and stop watching your great videos. I came to meet you through your restoration videos! You do such a wonderful work and such a humble professional. Your level and skills are really impressive and I hope all these expansions you’re doing are fruit of your success!!! Keep up the good work and we will be here to watch you do your thing! Thank you!
Wow, what a huge jump from your old shop! Talk about doing it tight, love it. I’d like to touch base with you in a couple months regarding my Colchester that I’m restoring and copying everything you’ve done shamelessly, including colour. Congratulations and don’t run yourself down. Excited to see your channel grow.
Impressive especially for your age, I would have loved that shop at your age. I'm jealous of your American lathe, not much you can't do with that lathe.
Great video of your shop. Keep up the good work. I knew a guy who chose his 2 lathes and 3 mills but he had to send them away to get them refurbished because he was so busy with repair jobs.
The new shop must feel so damn good after working in your garage space. Great tour and loved seeing what you've built. What do you guys produce as a company?
Wow!! Incredible.I am building a machine shop for my small engine repair shop that runs on steam or hot air and a system of belts. I have a decent collection of 1800's lathes and Camelback presses. I want it to run on sawdust and waste oil, with a system of belts that run an electrical generator as well.
Great shop set up. Looks very functional with good organization and good use of space. Love the machinery. I am totally at ah over the Colchester lathe. Please, if you ever decide to sell that machine i would like to discuss with you. Nice work sir.
Hi, I wish you all the best in your new shop... I am sure that you will do amazing things! One question... the Greek phrase on the wood lathe "Δάσος το κριάρι" was written by your co-worker Tim... is he from Greece?
I love that Blue Colchester. Please tell the camera person to film what you are talking about. Not you. Great shop man.. I wish the best for you! Oh and 80's isn't old damnit..
Nice shop, but you must do something about the dust. It makes everything shabby, and destroys your lungs. The dust in your blood also makes you tired. Do local extraction, general extraction, Filters, extraction on machines. Separated areas, Small items in cupboards, etc. Then you also have a chance that you can attract intelligent staff. It will make your life so much better. Especially in the future.
Nice shop and great video. As a newbie, I was wondering where you get your raw stock metal from? In my area, I have only found metal at big box stores like "Home Depot" and the selection is minimal.
You need to find a steel supplier. Most of them are dedicated shops that cut down much larger pieces to size. Some might also supply structural steel, and some might be more specialized (tubing only, etc.).
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair It looks so much larger than that in the video! Half that (about 1000sq ft floor space) would be about $1400/month where I live, 2000sq ft would be a price bracket up, maybe $3-4000/mo.. but it's the dream :)
@@aaronbuildsa yeah I get it. I was not going to move but this came up cheap. Might be closer to 2400sq feet. We pay 1400$ but the area is not a good one
Lol guess it’s a matter of opinion. I am sure if you work in aero space or CnC shops. Most manual machine shops are way worse. Most machines are neglected and lighting is poor. That’s the norm where I am. I am sure with high budgets everything you own can be in Lista cabinets and your floors can be polished but that’s not the reality for a smal business, especially one that is going on it’s second year in business.
