    Same offer in Michigan

    I've had to offer the same opportunity here in Michigan. These kind of guys are extremely hard to find. Nobody's training anymore. Moldmakers have always been in high demand and many have left the trade.

    Right now, it's just me, and the new guy. Assuming I can find him.
    I intend to hire two more people before the end of the year, and a couple more next year.

    I have 3 CNC mills, a kasuga, a matsura, and a tree. I have a kingston, 4 axis CNC lathe, a Makino sinker EDM, and of course plenty of manual equipment. I program with Mastercam, and design with Solidworks.

    I'm small, but I'm not new. I've been in business for nearly nine years. I'm expecting sales of about 3/4 million this year, and double that next year.

    I'm sorry if I came across like your a new shop or anything along that line. I'm glad to hear of small job shop doing well, and it does sound like your doing very well. I wish I didn't live so far away, I would of work for you on the side if I lived closer.

    Don't worry, it's all good. It's easy to make the assumption that a small shop is new. Many people in todays world don't feel like they're a success if they aren't living larger than life. I don't gauge myself that way. I would much rather have my bills paid, and spend time with my family, and doing the things I like to do than growing a huge business. If I could wake up tomorrow, and have my business be in any condition that I wanted it, I'd still own a small shop.


    Ya know, you don't HAVE to live so far away.

    Tool Maker / Mold Maker

    Guys, I've heard this request before (about 40 yrs ago)
    It seems not much has changed.
    So I learned the business,
    did it and now am not doing it (but could).

    The problem was that CNC programming in Aerospace
    was shoving 100k /yr into my pocket, Tool & Die couldn't.

    What are the hourly wages now?
    Aerowaste is now up to $56/hr

    When Tool & Die / Moldmaking gets fiscal respect
    The kids will flock into the biz, an Electritian gets 100k/yr
    Been doing this too long
