Titan, you have persevered and focussed and sacrificed, look where you are now, God bless you and Gina...

Great But a small tip for new shop owners, make sure that your biggest customer never supplies you with more than 30% of your work If they fall and your work for them is let's say 70%, you can close your doors like Titan had to do. Spread your risk so you are not depentent on 1 customer Also if you are the one that outsources everything and you just assemble everything, make sure you outsource not only with 1 shop, but multiple If that shop goes under you have to biuld a completely new relationship with a diffrent shop that won't give you the quality you are used to Also if you have a big project divide that work over 3 shops, so they can work at the same time and you have your complete order pretty much 3 times as fast And if 1 company has trouble delivering because they are busy or thay have problems with their machine, you still have 2 other supliers already making parts for you

Correct… and soon I will discuss how that exact thing hurt me beyond comparison… But lesson was learned and it never happened again. Those early days came with struggle but it set a business foundation under me that nobody could ever take away…

@@TITANSofCNC I was very curious as to what you would say because 'in theory' it is great advice. almost impossible in the real world. i read 80% of revenue will in the end come from 20% of our customers unless you consciously fight that trend. just watched your iconel video. i guess tool pull in is never an issue? lol jk

Life has rewarded you because of the sacrifices you’ve made. You made this happen because you believed and never gave up! Your life story is worth writing a book on man!😂 Seriously! You are a big inspiration! Your crew is also second to none! Dedicated and talented! They are lucky to have you as a leader. God Bless!

This guy is an inspiration to so many in manufacturing! Thank you for sharing your story!

Love the stories...really empowers others to chase their passion.

A man on a mission... We can do anything providing the intentions are good and God is included... Thank you Titan for your inspiration and all that you and your team does for us. Much love and gratitude brother.

I love all the work you put into making these videos Titan, the work you put into making Manufacturing more known in our world, attracting young talent to our trade, making a brighter future for so many families

Those brass parts made on those old cam screw machines are bushings for Armstrong pins that go into a press that punches ceiling tiles. I’ve made thousands and thousands of those.

love the passion and effort...you deserve the success...YOU EARNED IT!!!

We really appreciate these videos on how you started from the bottom!

I NEEDED THIS TODAY! LOVE THIS MOTIVATION!!

You the man Titan!!!!

The pandemic put my company behind and we’ve been playing catch-up for the last 3 months been working 10 hour days 7 days a week. September 6 (labor day) will be my first day off in 37days. But I don’t have a family to take care of yet so I tell myself I don’t have the right to complain. We got 2 more months and then things should go back to normal

your a legend man no denying it

Love these real experience videos…

Thank you great experience sharing

Hey Titan, we have a similar issue with not being able to keep up with customer requests. We make aerospace tooling assemblies. Most of our work is one off parts so anyone we hire needs to be able to program, set up and run the machine to produce a good part. I'd be interested to talk and hear what your opinion is on hiring and trying to grow the business.

Amazing...

Never have one company supply you with more than 20% of your work. Never purchase machines based on one vendors work. Never have all your eggs in one basket. There’s always some shop out there willing to outbid you, even if it’s a temporary loss. Be careful, good luck, and make hay when the sun shines. Cheers

Forgot to mention the game room u had in that shop lol. Keep up the hard work

This is Texas, you got bit of freedoms there guys and a nice passion :)

Those Curve driven machines make so much money an hour!! They cost near nothing to maintain, and the tools are cheap to.. Traub and Index?

good video titans

Perfect example of put the money back into the BUISNESS .another great example of if he is worth it, pay him

Labour and materials are your biggest overheads here in Australia.

Boom !

Boy all your videos is I I I I I boy I wish I was perfect everyday like you

I want to learn with you can you please guied me

I need a job. I want to work for you guys.

Your pronoune is superb and exploding with passion!

Hi Titan, What's your reaction to Sandvik buying Mastercam? Is this going to be a conflict of interests for you with Kennemetal, or are you going to start including more Sandvik tooling? This took me completely by surprise. They've already bought CG Tech (vericut), and machine monitoring software. It seems Sandvik want to supply everything from the material the part's made from, to the cam software you programme on, and the tooling you cut it with.

Many companies now are working to become a one stop shop… Partnering with Titans of CNC to lift up the trade and educate our workforce is good for business… and good for our industry.

It might be good that someone bought Mastercam I took a tour of the place a couple of years ago and it was female owned to the point that the place had like 3 fullsized giant kitchens. Priorities way out of wack.

Actually 50% less sounds like a lot.. sounds like exactly half. Why not hire a estimator? I can't imagine that 50% of your net sales per year is less than an estimator salary

I’m looking for ideas to set up a shop. I’m a toolmaker/machinist. Got a bit of cash and the skills but want some novel ideas before I jump in. Could you send your plan to me? I’d share the wealth if it’s a good one.

I don't think companies like to be beholden to suppliers...

Yeah, this is not a good business plan if you as a company have 80% of your parts machined by one supplier. You are owned by the machine supplier. They fail, you fail. Also works in reverse. If this isn't the definition of "all your eggs in one basket" I don't know what is. Need to minimize risk in all areas.

How to make huge loads of money after you already have a lot of money... 😞 That's called greed Frank.

It's called being a job-creator. I'm fine with my employer getting rich because they are the one working weekends, they are the ones bearing the risk, they are the ones taking the heat, and they are the ones allowing me to provide for my family, and for many other families. Guys like this made America the thriving nation it has been.
