that's the way most of us start out I guess. I remember my first year $200 a week, for fuel, board, and food. whilst all my none tradesman mates were earning heaps more. soon overtake them.

I also enjoy fabrication work although never really played with CNC stuff.

Thinking about getting a small jobbing lathe for home as access to the workshop at work is very limited these days. I've already picked up a 20ton shop press and have a small inverter arc welder but would like to add a AC/DC tig to that list as well.

edit: I should add I quiet like old steam engines, one day plan to build a small scale working model of some sort.
Stem engines cool, maybe you could work out a way to electronically inject steam! make a injected Steam engine.
