🎙️ What Does It Take to Build a Machine Shop While Working Full-Time? 🛠️

In this episode of the Impractical Machinist Podcast, we sit down with Joe Kaslowski, a fire inspector by day and a machinist by night, who built a thriving CNC job shop in his garage. With no formal training, Joe turned his passion for machining into a side hustle without ever quitting his full-time job.

Whether you’re thinking about starting your own shop or just love hearing relatable stories from the machining world, this conversation will inspire you to keep grinding.
