well, my machine runs but i dont get a chance to use it and learn

i travel for my real job and home only on the weekends. I've been putting an addition on my house and trying to do as much work as possible myself.
i just dont get into my shop to mess around with the machine..
when i try and use my we-cim i seem to forget everything i learned in august.
I hope to get into the shop some this summer, we'll see how that works

I check out this forum for post so i can scrape info up but not many post lately
is everyone making to much money with their machines they dont post anymore??
maybe i should be quitting my real job..

Looks really good keep up the good work.

I am really busy these days. I have run my torch some every day for the last 2 weeks 4 full 8 hour days cutting 1" grade 50 steel & the remainder on 3/8" & 1/2" A 36 mild steel.

Don't kid yourself about making a living with these tables. It's entirely possible if you have a good way to handle the sheets across them quickly.

I built mine with only the intentions of cutting materials I was buying pre cut. 5 months after putting it to work & a few people finding out about it. More additional work is finding, me without advertising it, than I ever imagined.

Still have (8) 4' X 12' sheets of the 1" to process + (10) 3/8" X 4 X 8 & (5) 1/2" X 4 X 8.

Right now I'm on the learning curve of how much oxygen & acetylene to get off the truck each (2) week cycle.

I know how you feel,im in the same position, away for 2 months, then home for 1 month.... but this is the reason i bought it in the first place, i hope to eventually be able to stay home and earn a living with it. Everything takes time, but i think eventually it will take off, the way i see it is the cost is the same as buying a boat, camper, stuff like that just depreciates in value were as the plasma table will make money, even if it takes awhile to get going at it.

Take care all
