Lack of space is actually a big issue. I spend too much time moving steel sheets for the laser around. Manual lathes and mill, bandsaw etc. are in another workshop. It would be nice to have it all under one roof.
The fiber laser has been in operation for 3 years now. I've been self-employed since late 2019, but business has been so bad in 2021 I had to go and find a job instead. Lathe has been sitting idle for a year before I finally got around to pouring a new concrete floor for it and the VMC to stand on.
