Something new

[jeffer949]

I just wanted to share something pretty exciting in my world.  5 weeks ago I overheard a friend talking about how hard it was to get any machine work done.  And it hit me..... I know how to rebuild heads I just need equipment. Did some research and found that 4 of the main shops in the area have sold out or retired. Told the idea to my father in law. And was just spit balling with him. I dont have the cash to start anything and it was just an idea.. well he gave me and my wife a rather large gift and I have now bought a storm vulcan 85b blockmaster and a winona van norman Ph-2000L  valve ane seat machine. Still need a valve grinder and obviously tons of tooling.  But im excited to see where God takes this.   Been 25 years since ive done and work but am excited to get back into it. Plan to get the surfacer going and try to drum up some buisness to make some income to buy more tooling. I onoe they are not the best machines bit they are functional.  Just wanted to share

very cool, Nothing wrong with an old machine if its dialed in right and run by somebody that cares to make a good product. I run a small machine shop from my garage, just not engine related machining. Sure you could drum up some work for those machines.
