How do I find one? Do they let you do your own work?... on the machines.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I'm one of those people who know a little bit about a vast amount of things and know a lot about a fair amount of things.Ever onward said:Damn Wyldfire, is there ANYTHING you don't know about?![]()
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Wyldfire said:It depends on what kind of machine shop you're looking for and what you need done.
Are you looking for tool and die makers, CNC mill and lathe, precision work, metal fab?
Typically, no, they don't just let you do your own work. Those machines aren't cheap. If you need a small job done I would advise that you check out any local highschools that have a tech center with a machine shop. You might be able to get something done for free or cheaply at a place like this. A lot of Job Corps centers have machine shops too. I'd try those places first because for profit shops will cost much more.
If you are interested in learning the trade...at 19 you'd possibly qualify for Job Corps if you are in the US. Also, most of the highschools with tech centers will allow some adults who have already graduated to take tech courses if there is room.
Oh...and some companies will hire people to train to operate those machines. If you PM me where you are from I might be able to find some places in your area you could look at if it's work you're looking for. If there is a subsidiary of Timken near you...go there. They train.
