Home Machinists Handbook
A home machinist is someone who used machine tools to make parts from metal and sometimes used other materials like wood, plastic, rubber or glass. Most who do machining from home do it as a hobby but some can make products that they can sell and can work from home. The trick is to find a product that is sellable and then to market it. Examples could be medieval chainmail, metal tools, products or making dies. Combining the selling of steel and making special products for customers usually works really well for a small business.
The operations most used by the home machinist are milling, drilling, turning and grinding. Metal is shaped, cut or formed. CNC machines may be beyond the average home machinist budget but because of their speed, precision and flexibility could advance your business.
The tools most commonly used by the home machinist would be adjustable parallels, calipers, rules, scales, indicator tools and electronic measuring tools. Depending on your product you may need drilling, milling or turning machines.

Dear Home Machinists Fans,
I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
