Hello Ron,
I did that for a little while, but the business closed down a while back and I've since moved all my gear to a little commercial shop, I just have way too much to keep at home, when I moved it all out, the transport ticket quoted 45 tons of machine tools, but there were some cars and other stock and materials included in that 45,
As it stands I do some commercial work when my back injury allows me to in order to pay the rent, and Mrs Rick is very understanding of my need to stay sane when my injury prevents me from working.
So I suppose the machines have become the foundation for a new business, just as soon as my health can stand full time work.
The problem leasing the equipment back to the business was that employees didn't always respect the equipment they were given, I used to tell the guys working my gear to be careful, and to make sure they didn't scar tables and stuff like that, they used to complain that they didn't know which gear was mine and which belonged to the company not that it should have mattered, respect it all, This is why much of my equipment has the yellow and black "Sheild" stickers, this was my old workshop logo from Way back, and it was instantly recognisable as my "Branding Iron" mark.
Best regards
Rick
