I wanted to make another channel with more professional looking videos and better content. I did that about 2 months ago or so and after thinking about it and realizing that running two relatively successful channels let alone one is quite a bit of work. The other day I came to the conclusion that from here on out, I would work harder to make my main channel much better and build on what I have already made. No use starting over with basically the exact same stuff!
So here it is Precision Machine Shed. I searched long and hard to a decent name and was always keen to precision machine shop, however that was being used by several companies across the country! Where the last word in my name comes from is the following. My grandfather always had a little work space. In his early years after he got married, his work space was literally a garden shed that he worked out of. As the years went on and he moved and built a few houses, he gradually built himself a large shop which was anything but a shed! I guess when anyone would as where he was back then they would say "He's out in the shed!" which back then is what it was! The shed name never changed and to this day, his last "Shed", a 30x60 foot 1.5 story shop is still loving called "The Shed"!
Although I do a lot of gunsmithing stuff, as of recent, I have not been doing as much as I wanted. That and I feel that I can still do that work along side general metal working projects. Building rifles gets expensive even when you can do all the work yourself such as I do. With the parts that I normally use to build a rifle such as a 1917 enfield, $1,000 per rifle is a starting point for parts costs. Whereas building random metal projects can cost next to nothing!
I'll still be doing rifle stuff when I get a chance or feel up to it, but I will mostly be working on teaching some metal working skills, along with cool projects that I have in mind, and hope to conjure up in the future. My goal is to be able to show projects that anyone with a lathe, a little bit of tooling, and a little bit of skill can accomplish.
There are a ton of people out there that are ether buying a new or used lathe and wanting to learn and make new things, and although there is a wealth of knowledge on YouTube, I hope to grasp a niche market in the stuff that I plan to do in the future. I still work on a very tight budget, so I rarely have extra cash to go spend on anything. That being said, I will try to build stuff that doesn't cost the average person an arm and a leg, or possibly make things out of stuff you may have laying around your shop!
Thanks to everyone who checks out my stuff and I would like to thank all of my subscribers for sticking with me as I transition into a new era!
