I'm working as a machinist in a tool shop, and i've been in the trade for a few years. I guess you could say i'm a toolmaker-in-training. I'm working on making some of my own tools to build-up my toolbox on my lunch breaks. i also want to make some simple toys for my kids(trains, cars, tractors, a bank, that kinda old school stuff).
I guess my question is: if i have a passion for doing this, am i a hobby machinist if i don't have a shop in my garage and, so far, am only doing what i've described above?
also, how many of you out there do this for a living and not just a hobby?
