I used to do the same thing. A good machinist will never be out if work!

Me too. I loved it, but the economy took a dump and I had to make a choice. I'm making twice as much now and I like my job, but I definitely miss being a machinist.
That is awesome Congrats!

In Mississippi there's a machine shop on every corner and oilfield based fishing and rental businesses to supply them with work. The mills are in my opinion the most fun to operate. If you get a chance to learn anything on a manual machine you better jump on the opportunity! Manual machinist are real machinist!
In school we had to Learn manual mills and lathes and make parts to spec before we even touched a cnc machine, I prefer them more. Wouldn't mind owning a set of Manual machines sometime soon
