Hello. I'm looking to setup a metal working area in my shop. I took metal shop in high school, my grandpa was a welder, and I've woodworking all my life. I know basic CAD and am learning CAM.
My goal is to be able to refinish and make my own putters.

- Beyond the obvious: safety equipment, a couple of grinders, a mill, a TIG welder, and a sandblasting booth, what are some of the big ticket items I need to budget for?
- I've been spending a lot of time researching mills. Would the PM-25MV have enough muscle to machine stainless putters? If not, what small footprint machine should I be looking for? I definitely want to eventually convert to CNC.
- Are there any metalworking clubs north of Seattle you recommend?
- Are there any books you recommend for metalworking? General, milling, and finishing.
