In this episode of the Machine Tool Maniacs podcast, I sit down with Bailey Shenk from Pizza Boy Metal Works. Bailey shares how he started his machine shop in his parents’ garage, building parts for the car community and turning his passion for cars and machining into real work. We talk about using social media to grow his brand, the challenge of quoting prototype and custom parts, and the realities of trying to make money while doing one-off work in a small startup shop. Bailey’s story is a good look at what it takes to start a machine shop from the ground up and how to build brand.
