Yep. Kinda sad as I REALLY like the company. Fantastic people to work for.

We have a few members that gather together here in MN. Myself, Rickster, JD (Grandpatractor, in WI), Tricker and Clint. Hopefully we can get together for a ride soon.

What sort of machining? Milling? CNC? Wonder if anyone needs any one-off things made. You may be able to make so dough on the side, provided the job doesn't mind you doing some personal work after hours. There were a few times modding 4x4s or rifles I wish I'd known a mechanist.

I run both manual and CNC, milling and lathes, right now all CNC HM70. I have done some home projects but mostly for myself. Kinda hard to find time for anything else.

Here is my new baby.

I took shop classes in high school and college. If I had a bajillion dollars I would have to go get one of those.
