The "Danger" factor has stopped me going ahead with it, it's remote here and if I screw the pooch I'll probably croak before I can get to town
(ended up at the ER 3 times since I moved here)

Yeah i've read the crazy things you get yourself into.

I always remember something a member said on here about getting you to come open up a good machine shop in America would be pretty bad ass.

All though i was born here there's many places of this country that i half to see. Many places in the world i have to see (sadly my choices in my mind are 99% decided by the involvement with cars and speed).

Just so fascinated with it

Know the feeling, when I was your age my entire world revolved around cars, lived on 2 minute noodles so I could buy parts

My friends always joke with my girlfriend about that. I've said on quite a few occasions that if she makes me choose between her or the car, bye bye girlfriend.

What kind of machine work do you do? We've got 2 cnc vert mills and a full turning center along with a roll-in saw and a surface grinder.
