So before I retired, I was mainly in the racing world. I had seventeen machines at closing. Sold three to where I am now and kept a few pieces. I was really burned out for a stretch. So when I came back to work people started calling. The three clunks are all dedicated for one operation so they are fine. The Haas will run new parts. This is my place.

I’m strangely aroused by how tidy your shop is.

Hah, I am now glad you didn't see the shop that I laid out and worked in for ages...... JK, I think it would have been cool to lead you on a tour. All tour participants were happy. Except Mike 95060.....

Dude, I worked there for years. It was great! It just couldn’t compete with a 10 minute bicycle commuteHah, I am now glad you didn't see the shop that I laid out and worked in for ages......

Im still shocked and sad Ron’s baby didn’t sell as a turnkey operation. Ken’s not lying, that shop was immaculate.

And machining things is so cool. My friend @kuksul08 once fabbed up something my bike needed. It was rad, and another time my buddy Jim didn’t like some spools I’d bought and their fit on my SMR so he just made me some. They are precious. I know spools are ten bucks or whatever but these are special.

CrazyCooter, Mike knows what I mean......., as would any other machinists.
, as would any other machinists.I bored. I have a half I need to hold on the large bore 9/16 deep. Then 2 inch of 1 inch 14. I roughed out everything out so I could do the critical shit at the end. I had a center in the end and did not want to puch out the bore on roughing.^ not quite gun drilling but just as scary!

Hey machinist peeps. I saw something new on social media. There was a company advertising to buy up all the old data from machinists part programs. NC files, CAD/CAM files all of it. Obviously they want it to train AI on. I don't know what they would offer. After 10 years programming at this company I currently have 102 GB of data in my Jobs folder. For $5k/MB I might consider it
(In reality I left them a comment telling them to make their own data. fuckers.)

interesting that among the ‘qualifications’ they listed, there was nothing about owning the intellectual property.

Yup. The entire premise is wild.

AI will complete the task more effectively and at a lower cost. assuming you didn’t use AI.

Yeah, sure. Robots make good welds too. When a qualified, experienced welder sets them up and keeps an eye on them.
When AI can hand a complete part to customers I will worry about my job. Until then it’s just a tool to make my life easier, someday.
