The Impractical Machinists

How Much Work Do You Need Before Going Full-Time? | 47


Listen Later

Pat, Cameron, and Brad catch up on what’s been going on in their shops—from current projects and production challenges to the reality of keeping work on track.

They also dive into a listener question about when to go full-time with a side shop, breaking down the financial side, the risk, and what that transition actually looks like. The conversation touches on balancing a day job while building something on the side, using your job to fund equipment, and what happens when that decision gets made for you.

They also get into shop culture, big vs. small companies, and why more machinists are thinking about going out on their own.
