Hi Graham and Welcome,

So what kind or area of advise are you looking for in particular.? I've helped and built machines for several people who have taken this path. The Small Job shop come home workshop works if your well tooled up and flexible but your never going to get rich from it.

Those I've seen work well and make just Ok living thou very rewarding one are Often home shop people who specialise in some field. Often it's Art's n Crafts related or special purpose usage. Like Custom Bike parts, Bespoke furniture etc.

The straight down the middle small engineering shops tend to struggle unless they specialise in one off's and at right money. So basicly they don't make much excess profit just cover OH/Wages and little beer money.!!
