Was thinking of dropping 5-10k on a cnc. Is there a lot of demand out there? Is 4x4 enough room to make an extra 100k? Any success/heartbreak stories?

Reminds me of my biz: “anyone can buy a PA system (“public address,” concert sound system). But do you have clients/ accounts lined up to pay it off? Obviously chicken-and-egg, no nevermind if you can use your investment efficiently. $10k would buy a pretty lame bar-band rig, ha!...

But, your idea for fabrication would better. In your home, could operate while you sleep maybe. Suppose it’s always supply/ demand/ niche.

Cool factor: I have the metal shop guys at work designing/ building a custom flybar piece for me. I keep stopping in to see, designer guy asks if it’s super urgent, I say not terribly, but is definitely fun to watch it come together. Milled this, tapped that. Very neat IMO.

For speakers, especially the huge PA low horn type I think there's a lot to be saved from building yourself if you have the time.
