You got a 12" atlas lathe. That'a a prize. Now you have to scrounge up
parts for it . My 1st lathe was a 10" atlas. The manual was 1st class. It
explained lots of things to the noob machinist. I made lots of parts on that machine which earned me money.If you can get the jobs, you can make a living.
Look at it this way. Lets say you invested $1000 in the machine.You make parts and sell them for money. If you got the jobs you can make $10000 or $20000
in 2 years (if you got the jobs or connections) from a $1000 investment.If there's no work just let it sit.It doesn't complain,you don't have to feed it. It takes up space. Compare this to a player in the stock market.The stock investor
gives his/her money to a broker and gets back pieces of paper with funny ink on
it saying they own a piece of some company.What % do they get back on their investment and how long did it take? If the company dies what does the investor have left? fancy toliet paper.What do you have? A machine.Physical assets. Finding work is always the big deal, but you can make a living. Its what i do. regards.
