  Entrepreneur

  My wife and I started a CNC Router business during COVID making 3D reliefs and custom wood signage. We expanded into diode laser work as well.Profit wise, within 8 months we paid off everything we financed/charged and still made an extra $8000. Due to running out of my 1 car garage on base housing at Nellis AFB, I was limited on my production capabilities. Once I retire, I plan to expand the business with the hope I can do wood working full time to be at home more. My wife enjoys doing laser work so we will buy a CO2 laser to make engraved tumblers.
