Do any of you guys do this CNC stuff as a part time job and keep a full time job too like me....?
I just want to know if there is anybody else out there as frantic as I am becuase in the past 2 months, this little "side business" has started to take on a life of it's own and I don't know how much more I can take!

I wanted to keep my full time job for the benefits and because I usually get home around noon-ish, and thought I would have plenty of time to do a couple orders a week. But now, I'm FReAkInG OuT!!:drowning:

Oh to have just one job...

been doing about the same past few months. in order to focus on my small shop. i think i'm going to quit the original full time. currently working 2 full times and 1 part time.

You mention the benefits in your full time job as a reason for wanting to keep it on.

I was wondering...

Would the owners of your full time place of employment consider a buy- out of your part time business?

If they are business people and you can demonstrate a good order book and sound business plan then surely they would buy you out, make you a wholely owned subsiduary and you'd keep the benefits.

Upside= They get to do all the legal stuff, invoicing, advertising etc freeing you up to do more stuff. You become a director of their subsiduary (salary hike).

Downside= You lose a lot of control over the direction of your company future plans.

Dunno... just a thought?

well it's two totally different things... My full time job is installing security systems. I don't think they have any interest in metal cutting.
