Hi Guys,

I am now thinking of doing a website to promote my hobby and maybe make a bit of money to buy new tools and stuff. The financial side is not really my main concern. I simply like making stuff that people use.

My focus will be small parts and repairs.

In terms of tooling I currently have:
  • Sieg X2 mini mill with 6 "" rotary table
  • Mini Lathe
  • Band saw
  • Bench Grinder
  • Belt Sander
  • 160 Amp Welder
  • Angle Grinder
  • Test Indicator, Dial Indicator and Digital Calipers
  • Various hand tools and other stuff...

Should I go this route, and if so - is there anything else in terms of equipment that I will need?
 
Depends on what small parts and repairs you plan to do.
 
Seems sufficient. Maybe some heat-treatment supplies? Green sand + form, if somebody wants a part duplicated and cast?
