I’m starting down the same rabbit hole myself. Started printing bearing blocks yesterday. And I work at a metal distributor as well.

Keep crushin it! You can accomplish what you believe you can 💯

As a former production welder to a multi-million dollar shop use whatever you can get your hands on. Also learning new skills like running cnc router, cnc laser, plasma tables, etc do it. 😊 More power to you.

Hey neighbor! Iowa here.. I plan on doing the exact same build and trying to figure out table size.. Quick question, why didnt you do 4x8?? Thinking there must be a reason as looks like you have the space and the cost to upgrade would be minimal.. Maybe weight of gantry?? Would love to do a 4x8 but thinking 3x5 or 4x6 because of garage space.. Also since i dont have a plasma to cut the parts, was thinking about cutting patterns out of wood on my longmill and just offset the dimensions to allow for the radius of the torch head.. Does this make sense or bad idea?? Been watching your videos, you do a awesome job!! Hoping to do a channel myself as i have decent camera gear and a decent editor.. Keep up the great work bro!! Just followed you IG btw

commenting because your channel needs to be seen.

Try some radiator coolant rust inhibitor in the tank.

Had to come check it out, great editing, It’s still early days for this video, mine took a while to take off, good luck. Matt (strings and sawdust.) subbed

Well good luck and thanks for sharing

I know exact where you going thru my friend. Keep going and going and going. I struggle also but I will never give up my dream

Wishing you continued success and growth in both your business and yt channel.

Thank you🎉

Excellent! We will be modifying it to 3 (16" boxes) with 2 rows of them. They will attach to the wall and be slightly elevated from floor. Thank you for your video and free build plans!

Keep going champ! One of the first to see you think about starting a business 10 years in, you’ll be happy you did it

broooooooooo, keep uploading bro

Keep pushing! Thanks for the insights brother 🤙

I subscribed because of this video

Congratulations, Success is where preparation meets opportunity

I’ve shared this with my son. Great stuff

What wood did you use and what colour dye? It’s fantastic

We aren’t allowed anything like this in the UK but I love this!

looking forward to more videos! well said too btw.

I seriously enjoy your channel, keep up the great work!

🎉🥳🫡

👍🏻🍺🤜🏻 the videos 😊f the CNC are so informati

Hi, I need that 3d printed parts files? Would you share?

If you had purchased the plasma table new, you would still be in the same position if something went wrong, and you might regret not building it yourself. Also, freaking out when something doesn’t work well can be more stressful if you didn’t build it, as you might not feel confident about how to fix it. I agree that you incurred time and opportunity losses, but you did so while you were employed, which is fortunate (or at least it seems you were employed). However, in the future, you’ll be able to build or upgrade more tables quickly. If your business takes off, you’ll be able to scale and repair equipment rapidly, and even start hiring help, rather than piling on debt with industrial machines. The worst scenario is buying industrial machinery that breaks down, leaving you clueless about how to fix it while customers are waiting on deadlines. At that point, you’re paying a tech to fix it, which adds even more stress. I know how it feels-I’ve been through that process myself. But the upfront time cost of taking on this project will pay off in the long run if you gain momentum. Your point about bearings is spot on. In the future, I would definitely ditch the 3D-printed roller bearings and go for linear rails with extruded aluminum T-slots. It’s much easier to work with, faster to CAD, and overall more convenient. Of course, there’s the upfront cost of the linear rails, extrusion profiles, and bearing blocks, but it’s worth it. Good luck, and I love your content so far!

Very nice shop! It's great to witness your yourney. May 2025 bring you all the best.

Dude I also started a small plasma business it’s not overly successful but watching your videos reminds me that there are other people in this world that share my dream of owning a custom fab shop

Very generous for you to just ask for only a like. Thank you.

Keep it up, man! Good inspiration for us who dream of a shop!

I personally think the skate bearings rolling on the frame type of design is more trouble than it is worth. The cost of actual linear rials and the ease of finding cheap one's these days is a blessing if you are a builder of your own machine. i picked up a cheap plasma cutter a few years back and wanted to build a CNC table but that project got put on the back burner. I just now have started to work on building mine since i found a deal on a straight torch. the hand torch that came with the machine was an odd size and consumables were expensive and hard to find. I would be one of those people that enjoy building something from scratch. It takes time to design and build any kind of machine but what you learn along the way is priceless IMO.

Good work as always mate! Keep pushing towards your goals every day and you'll make it. 😁🤙

Nice shop! Wish you the best!💪

Progress everyday will eventually get you to your goal!!!

I can see a lot of potential here. Excited to see how you grow from here.

That's an absolutely beautiful shop, man!

👍🏻🤜🏻🍺

Great job! Love seeing the progress.
