    Unhappy Beginner Machine Shop

    I have been in the Aerospace Industry for over 20 years and finally decided it was time i take my savings and open a machine shop of my own. Now that I have all the machines and tools one man could need the one thing that i'm lacking is anything to do. I currently have both mill and lathe machines and have the capabilities to do almost anything. My question is if there's anyone on this website that either has work for me to do or knows the best way for me to get work. I've been going door to door and sending e-mails for the last 3 months with no luck. Thank you so much for any and all help!

    I'm not sure if you posted this in the BobCad/CAM forum intentionally, but that will limit your audience to those looking at BCC related subjects.
    Are you taking samples when you visit potential clients?

    I quite like targeted ads if they're not intensely annoying so I'll enable ads when your advertisers stop using annoying sounds, annoying slideshows and annoying animations

    Where are you located? Best thing is to go back to your former employers and start there as long as you left on a good footing.

    spend some time and make some beautiful-impressive parts and post them up. Could probably get more work than you could do!
