From wrenching on South Bend lathes in his basement to running Maple Lane Machine & Tool, Brad Jacob has lived just about every phase of the machinist’s journey. In this episode, Brad sits down with us to talk about how he went from BMX-riding shop kid to shop owner serving the medical industry. We dig into restoring old iron, the grind of starting a business out of your garage, and what it’s like to see your parts end up in life-changing applications. If you’ve ever hauled a Bridgeport down a set of stairs, wrestled with woodworking dust, or wondered whether manual machining really makes you better at CNC, you’ll get a kick out of this one.Connect with Brad here:YouTube: ‪@BasementShopGuy‬ IG:  maplelanemachineandtool  🔔 Subscribe, Rate, and Review to never miss an episode.
