I own a small fab shop, mainly do parts for RR contractor trucks and structural iron. I stay as far away from offroad fab as I can now, the stuff with a print is easier to train a helper to do and the money is essentially guaranteed even if it is 30-45 days away. Lots of job shop/odd stuff/farmer projects etc find their way in the door as I can generally figure anything out. I also farm with my dad and have a little 80 acres of row crop of my own that I keep trying to find more of. I think I'm going to close the fab shop, my knees are done (had both ACL's done and scopes done in 2012 adn the doc said there's not much left back then.) Its worse now. Thinking of starting an excavating gig, just got a PC200 Komatsu and have a skid and various trucks and trailers. I excavated for 7 years before the fab shop and really enjoyed it, just had no way to own the company as the owner had a son my age. I have 2 good buddies that push dents. Nomads. They both seem to eat pretty well. I see the daily checks they pull when they get their own deal set up and its mind blowing to think of a no consumable situation where you can have a few tools, a camper and some patience and pull several grand a day sitting on a stool looking at a panel. Nuts. Greg Sunday and AAron Cline are their names.
