I can listen to Titan talk about ice melting. He is such a good communicator and a Godly man.
This single video tought me more than 4 years in college.
A school cannot create a person like you.
Only one can.
We are all thankful He did!
Greetings from Latvia!
You get out what you put in!
You rise by lifting others... That's an incredible statement.. You are an inspiration for young generation like us..
As a manufacturing small business owner, your story is incredibly inspiring. I admire your courage, dedication and passion for what you do. I can't understand who would dislike this video.
Losers. Only Losers
Bill Selway is a living legend. He's why I left my job and went to work for Selway. Never met a more humble, supportive, appreciative man in my life. His word is his bond. I have much the same industry background as you and my 4 year old son has high functioning autism. He's the most amazing little boy and I'm blessed to be his father. I didn't give you the credit you deserved until I watched this video and I get it now. Good on you Titan.
Took over my dad's shop in the early eighties at 18 years old. WW2 equipment like an Atlas Lathe, an old Johnson model J saw and 2D war finish Gorton panto-graphs but we had some customers. Everything was so clapped out but I stuck to it being orphaned. Sold the building 5 years later to pay off debt from our badly managed succession and moved to town in rented smaller square footage. First sinker EDM 2 years later then one 3 and then 4 axis cnc one after another after that so now have a shop full. All this was so traumatic to me we stayed small and safe but are doing well in our niche. Yes on criticism from others ( 29:00 ) I was ragged on and ridiculed often.. Anyhow thanks for the vids Titan. Whew I first read about you in the Haas magazine I thought well here's another guy that thinks highly of himself but your heartfelt videos changed my mind. Thanks for all you do man, at 58 years old you've given me the courage to stay on track and progress for another 10 years .
This story is a testament that nobody makes it by themselves. Whether they realize it or not they had many hands helping hold them up along the way.
Please continue what you do Ty!
Titan I am 31 years old and three years ago I went back to school for advanced manufacturing.The first few weeks of school was very overwhelming for me.Between the math classes and the CNC programming classes I was lost at first and felt like I didn't have what it takes to get.I was ready to drop out before I embarrassed myself.But I was extremely attracted to machining and wanted to succeed.So I studied my tail off day and night and progressed so well I landed myself on the Dean's list and was offered scholarships.I became obsessed with the trade.I went from hating my job so bad I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning to getting excited pulling in the parking lot in the morning.And I must say your videos have definitely inspired me to succeed.If I am ever out your way I would love to stop in and shake your hand sir.Thank you!
Where did you go to school? How long was the course?
I really appreciate your story. I ran my shop that lasted 30 years. When my wife got Alzheimer’s I decided to limit my work week to 50 hours a week and let my management team run the business. I lost everything. Now my wife is in a nursing home and I have started over with nothing. Your story is inspirational giving me the much needed boost after 25 years of 7 days a week only to let it go to spend a few quality years with my wife. I have no regrets but my energy did need a boost.
Thank you
My prayers are with you... and Thank You!
Rick, I also owed a shop for 21 years and lost it in 2016. I am 61 had lost everything too. I was inspired my this video. I have the experience and no how to open another shop. Just need money. But what Titan said was tell your story. I hope your on your way ti success.
Brother!!
What an amazing testimony!
I have inventions and things that don't leave me . You encouraged me to move forward despite the hardship and nay sayers.
Thank you so so much for being open and sharing your life with me!
I'm saving this video to keep re watching it.
Thank you!
Titan, I got to know you yesterday, looking for automated manufacturing stuff. I'm truly amazed. For years I try to build something useful, beautiful, valuable. Now I have a PhD in Electronics Engineering and I'm still trying to have a business in a hostile country to such a thing. Your words really cheered me up. I'm 50, and may God help me find my way. Thank you so much, Titan.
Awesome story Titan. Thank you for being such a champion of manufacturing in this country, and for working so hard to help others reach their highest potential. Gotta love it.
I know zero about CNC machining, don't even know how I got to this video, but I tell without any doubt Mr. Titan is the man! Dude has passionate for his craft. Really enjoyed listening to him speak. I want to have the same strong emotion he has towards his work.
you are such an inspiration. am an artist and a woodworker, I use CNC router to make stuffs but no days go by without watching you. you are impacting on lives. this is Silas from GHANA, AFRICA
For me this story is very inspirational and hurts at the same time. It's the kind of story that keeps me pushing to have a successful business that makes a difference but I never had anyone that could do what his friend Jeff did. I'm almost 50 years old now and about to be empty nesters in about a year. All that time trying to create a successful business to provide a good life for my kids is now gone and I have nothing to show for it. The one thing I realized through the years is that everybody needs a Jeff. No matter what industry you decide to go in. Making the money is cool but having someone that believes in you and is willing to put everything on the line because they see your vision is the real blessing. Take it from an old man, pray for good people in your life, not money!
Thanks for telling your story...it actually come some tears hearing about your journey. And thanks for all you have learned me via your videos.
god man... you inspired me so much, i am going through something like that right now, building my shop, looking for customers, financing, i constantly question myself..but you gave me a strong impulse..thanks!
Thank you Titan. Listening to your story from where you started, what you have gone through, and fought to get where you are today is truly an inspiration. It gives us small machine shop owners
motivation and a chance to become even greater. Thank you and God bless brother!
It’s all Him
You are a truly amazing person. To have turned your life around is a very impressive feat of determination, discovering ones talents, and drive. GOD BLESS you!
Titan, wow, thank you for Being You. You're an inspiration to all. I have a son with Autism as well, and no one knows what you have to go through having a challenge like that. There are days when you question everything. Keep the energy flowing, Keep Inspiring. Keep Motivating. You are an amazing Gift to to us all.
Titan... I watched these kind of in reverse but I'm watching them as I can. It is rather scary that our visions are so similar and we have never met. I am a disabled veteran that has been struggling to get my stuff going and refuse to stop even though I am knocked off the ladder time after time after time. It's wearing on me badly but I got a chance through a friend to get some of my stuff started and that actually landed me with working for them and being able to work on my parts too. I'm solo on my venture but I'm still trying to figure out everything to get it going where I know it can be. I'm starting off very small but my long term goal is to have my own shop that I can hire good people and help other veterans or someone who needs help to get back on their feet. Thanks for these brother it's very inspiring to me!!
This video brought me to tears believing it could be done. Looking at you Looking at those pictures knowing the real definition of them gave me a different perspective in life. Thank you Titan. From the bottom of my heart, I genuinely appreciate you.
The rise of the Titan Machines. Lately I been watching some of videos I should of started with this one. Your story is inspiring. About 30 years back I studied to become a machinist. I worked 5 years as an CNC operator. Inside of me I wanted to advance into programming or something in the same field. To make my story short I abandoned because people closed doors on me. If I would of meet someone like you to help me achieve my goals. But you revived an old flame in me. Don't know where to start but something inside says go!!!!👍
Damn, dude! Wow. Your story is inspiring and I can say you have lifted me up. I've not gone through 1/10th of the tough things you have, and you've succeeded. Hearing *how* you turned things around is truly inspirational. Your story will shape my journey too. Thank you.
I relate so well to your testimony. Congratulations on being not just an overcomer, but on having the heart you have to build into lives. That’s what it’s about. You need publicity and I’ve shared your story. Keep up with your heart Titans.
WOW! This video was the best thing I’ve watched all year. Congratulations on your journey brother.
I never get tired of hearing your stories Titan ! Thank you for sharing.
Your content is much appreciated, I've just started my LLC and I plan to have my shop by the beginning of 2022. I have a steep learning curve to go through but I trust the process and very thankful for your free courses thank you
absolute gem, watched the full 35 minute. You nailed the meaning of life in the last 5 minutes, that's what it's all about, bring others up with you once you make it. Keep believing in yourself and making things better for the people around you.
What a great story! It is great hearing someone who is so hungry succeed but my favourite part is what you have done for Geoff (or Jeff)! Your word is all you have sometimes and unfortunately for some, it’s easy to go back on. Well done 👍
I’ve listened to this story 3 times now and love it more every time !!!
Thank mate, this inspired me so hard. As a graduate engineer with a dream of owning my own machine shop. This is really a short-cut of experience on the path I am walking on. Thank and wish you all the best.
Thank you Titan for answering the question that I posted in your other video about your first days as a shop owner and the first machines you owned. You not only answered but made a video about it. Thanks a lot.
Thank you sir. I've done the sleep in the shop thing and have built a business, owned lots of specialized equipment, owned my own shop building, only to see it all vanish. Life can take some hellish downward turns. With some seriously dented confidence, I have been wandering aimlessly for years. That's changing and you are a part of that.
Watch out for the next Vlogs...
I touch on all you said
@@TITANSofCNC Will do.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm inspired by you. I found these videos after I found my love for all things machining and decided I would like to start my own machine shop. Thanks for the advice and the lessons you have. It's really helped guide me to where I want to be and what I want to do.
Great Story Titan! I work as a Prototype Aerospace machinist. I like all of your videos and i know what you mean about making a difference. There have been a few good people that i have met along the way. One guy taught me how to program when i still lived in New Mexico. I still talk to him and respect that guy a lot. Sometimes it is more than just what is going on right then and there. We truly can help each other out in this trade. Somehow the ego gets in the way and there is a weird animosity in a lot of shops. I just try to rise above it and look toward the future. I am thinking about buying my own machine next year. I know it will be a lot of work but i think it will be worth it if i can get my brother to come work with me. I could see starting a program to help out the younger generation get into CNC programming and operating. I had the idea to start a program where you take the kids out of the trade schools and have them run parts in your shop. There might be a way to get machines at the education rate if there was such a program as that. I know CNC programming/setup/operation has changed my life. We shall see.
Also i wish i got to run those carbide drills a lot of shops are scared to run them...
How do you like fusion? I program on Mastercam and i have been for like 8 years now. I have fusion at home but it would take some time to get used to.
Titan God has blessed you. As you say it is better to give than to receive. What you said and how you say it, man that really lifts me. I LOVE our industry, I love making something out of nothing, getting the machine to cut, faster, always moving forward. As you say some people don't get it. They would rather give you 10 reasons to not do it, as 1 to do it. I know what I have to do, the gift I've been given and I wish our leaders would only see the benefit, the pride manufacturing gives. Keep doing what you do, I would love to have my own shop but its the starting out that is the wall. I've been an cnc programmer, engineer 25 years now and all I want, is to make product, better, better. Why because we can, we never stop trying. Keep building our next generation of manufacturing experts.
Thanks and trust me, He has done miracles and has put me through it... in preparation for this journey.
He has a plan for you also... so Be bold in it... in His timing.
Thank you so much for this. You truly are using your gift in teaching what life is about and explaining how it’s really not about the money. A hustler’s gonna hustle in any weather. Let’s go!
Man! I gotta tell ya. This has truly inspired me. I wish I could tell you my story. I have been on a similar journey. I’m at the peak and see the downhill ahead. Your story has motivated me beyond measure this morning. Thanks for sharing.
I just sold everything I own to start my CNC business just with a vision, just with passion and saw this video. Thank you for your story.
how did it go?
Here checking in on you and your shop, Alistair…
Just got my 1530 router up and running, figuring out what post processor is best for my machine and messing around. Waiting to set up my Cnc plasma table as well. And waiting on my Cnc wood lathe.
Sooooo work in progress 😁
You`re absolutly inspirational and uplifting, becomming greater and be more helpful and you`re an absolutly great Human!!!!
My congratiolations to you and your work
Thank you for being here titan good bless you ❤️
You certainly built a reputation for being a credible person and business! Credibility is everything.
Titan you are 100% correct thank the Lord for what he is giving you not just your success. But also for the talent and the drive and the opportunity to help others. I also have a son with autism. He is only seven I don't know what life has in store for him, but if I do like you did. Maybe one day that will give me the freedom and the time to always be there for him and to always provide for my family.
Thank you for this amazing story. Needed to hear this. You're amazing and I look up to your confidence. Love this trade. Almost 10 years in and as a toolmaker, i can't imagine my life without this trade
That was one hell of a story. My hat is off to you. I've been through some of what you have, so I understand how hard it can be. I've just started learning Fusion 360 and bought a mini mill to convert to cnc so I can learn. Hopefully I can get half the knowledge you have of this trade.
thank you for this inspiring and educational story. i could take away a lot for my personal life. The way you are self confident AND humble and thankful at the same time ist truly moving.
the message that life and business are more about lifting up oneanother and giving back than getting rich resonates a lot.
Thank you Titan. I too, have an autistic daughter that is mid to high functioning. I have been programming CNC's since 1990, before that operating CNC's and manuals since 1978. I love what you are doing, I have ran many a (Selway sold) Matsurra and Haas in Austin. Now I'm the last guy in a small shop (not in Austin), owned by a research and development company. I do everything. Change my own coolant, order stock/tools, saw, program, run, sweep, mop, and do whatever it takes to keep my internal customers happy. I'm not telling you this because I want a job. But if I lose this job, I will have trouble finding one near me. I'm already commuting 132 mile round trip. I'm wanting you to keep it up so that we can rebuild America. We need more of this. The Lord and manufacturing built America. I'm getting older (and tired), but my kids are young, so I need motivation like this to keep it going. Thanks again for inspiring me. One day at a time.
Thank you Brother and please say hi to your children and especially your daughter. God is so Good and I just keep pushing to fulfill His plan for my life... Thanks
Titan
Awesome video. I feel so much how you were talking. I'm destined for more then just running my machine. I want my Owen thing. I have build a few machines myself. And want to do more of that. Very inspirational video. Thank you!
Remember sat in my unit (bay) painting the walls and waiting for my VF4SS to arrive, I too took the pics of the truck arriving! Titan your an inspiring and talented guy, and we're quite similar with the rough and the kiss finish attitude to machining, although my kisses linger a little too long ;) And like myself, you came from nothing, just armed with the knowledge or should I say belief that HARD GRAFT WILL GET YOU THERE! Bringing back manufacturing and perfection to great engineering countries... also a passion of mine! Although we're UK based. Anyway.. first time writing anything publicly, but you really made a positive connect, so just thought I'd share my appreciation ;) Keep fighting! Andy
you have made a difference in my life. i own a small machine shop, in Kenya, and I hope to own my !st CNC machine next year (2019). I don't know how but i believe it will happen. I love watching your shows with my son, he is enthusiastic about machine, and I gave him my promise, we shall build the best cnc machine shop in Kenya. AM ONE OF YOUR ONLINE FOREIGN STUDENTS............ AND SO PROUD OF YOU SIR..BOOOM!
Thank you and keep the Dream!
I did a twenty year sentence for making meth I used this drug to loss my feeling its not away easy to see i was a firefighter and I about died in a house fire I was trying to save a baby in side this house I found her but it was to late years after I new that day changed my life all the way to the bottom but I have started to get back up and this show gives me hope
I cant say i know youre pain but I get it. America is still #1 in the world for second chances...Henry Ford left home at 16 w/ no $
This is one of the most inspirational stories I've ever heard, Titan. You are now the living embodiment of our Lord's admonition "Love one another, Serve one another."
Today’s Vlog #20 is a continuation and is epic on a whole new level. Thanks and please check it out
Everyone always thought I was crazy for wanting to buy a mill. I wanted one because I loved running machinery and I had many ideas I wanted to make. It made no sense since I knew how to run machinery to pay for someone else to do it for me. so I ended up buying a manual 5hp mill! That was three years ago. Finally got tired of doing round work on the mill, with rotary tables, running a boring head with a left hand tool/ makeshift balancer. I went out and purchased my new lathe back in August! (17x60 E-lathe). Next goal will be to eventually build a shop that's heated lol.
You have a great story. Thank you Titan. Touch my life you did.
Titan you make me cry every time you tell us your story. Great job!! you are an inspiration to us all.
one of the best story of succes I've ever heard....
Really enjoyed your ride Titan, sometimes the stars align, you are definitely being watched by the great one, good work man, there’s nothing better than giving back👏👏👏👏👏well done.
What you have at the end of your life is your legacy. If more business owners realized that our country would be unstoppable.
This video alone has made a difference to me. I've struggled financially running my business. I keep hearing people say, do something else, get a job on the side etc etc. I know I can make a success of it, and I don't need negativity like that. Your story is inspiring.
Titan, thank you for the inspiration. I currently work in a very large shop for a defense contractor, and while the pay is good and the work is constant, I have very little job satisfaction. I'm just a cog in a massive machine, and I hope to be able to use your model as inspiration to strike out on my own.
Making and Breaking - Robot Combat, R/C, and FPV I
You are nice honest man that you go up your tech is veary high iam avionic engineer my am is capable in trade i like statment
you're a good guy. this is the first video i came across and it was completely by chance. i am so glad i clicked and saw this. well done sir. you are an inspiration
Unbelievable!, I’ll admit I’m a bit jealous. Nothing has ever worked out for me. I set up a machine shop, all new equipment except the forklift, Mostly manual machines but did have a CNC lathe and a cnc plasma table, 1 year in my wife was diagnosed with brain cancer and lost everything. Im happy for you, you deserve it, I’m still waiting for my break.
You need to watch Vlog 20 and 21 to get the rest of the story. Money wasn’t enough and I failed... until I found my purpose.
@@TITANSofCNC
Sweet!! I'll check it out! Thanks😎
You just changed my perspective on life after watching this video I want to start my journey I’ve been a machinist for 1 year I started at 18 you can’t get anywhere sitting on the couch Thankyou for all of your videos keep working hard!
As someone who has lived in their shop to get it done. Respect!
Very inspirational it gave me chills.
I must have watched thousands of videos. THIS was the best. I take my hat of to you sir. What an inspiration. RESPECT!
Thanks
Really inspiring, thanks for the really honest breakdown of your experiences.
You are an Incredible person Brother.......
Inspiring story Titan. I grew up on the streets of LA, doing drugs, selling, hustling. Lived outside, slepted on roofs and in the bushes. I noe own a sucessful janitorial bussiness in Iowa. Married and raised four children. None of them on drugs. My oldest son makes more than me as a compute. programmer. He's 21. If you've git the heart you can crawl out of any hole. Enjoyed your story.
Thanks
Make sure you watch 20 & 21 also... gets crazier
Congratulations also
What a story. Thanks Titan. I'm on my own journey at the moment with my own company in the UK, Atom Precision. I started in February and things are now going great. I love hearing inspirational stories like yours.
That’s Awesome! Wait til you see Friday’s... it’s insane.
After watching this, I'm lost for words. Titian that story was incredible! such determination and believing in yourself. You deserve everything you achieve. unbelievable... And Jeff you are truly amazing, you believed in Titian and made his vision possible. people like you are truly a grift from God. truly inspiring story. Love your work guys! Keep making those chips!
Titan,your story is very interesting and you are very fortunate that have people by you and help you start and grow your business. Not all of us have that type of friends.
Man,this speech is sou powerful..thank you for your energy..thank you
What an incredible story. You are an inspiration.
Would be good to hear from Jeff and Bill as to why they believed in you.
Titan, thank you so much for sharing your story so openly and honestly! The truth of your journey is inspiring, very inspiring! I can't thank you enough for what you are sharing!
I am so glad that you have overcome all of the obstacles that were thrown in front of you!
You're an American hero!
BOOM! :)
This video gave me chills... Thanks for your words.
Bless you Titan! Loved your story, very inspirational
Amen Titian! Just an awesome story! We have our own shop and we share all of the same mission statements now we're just waiting on the work!
Truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing. It is so easy to think we are the only one facing impossible odds and struggling to find a pathway to success. Your testimony is proof that when vision and work ethic collide, success will come. Thanks for inspiring me to rise to greatness, as well.
Thank you for your story, God Bless You.
I just started researching about CNC machines and came across your video. Such an Amazing Story! Congratulations on all your success. I'm subscribed.
I’m proud for you! God has blessed you and your family Titan. I have been following you for a long time now and know we would be friends if we ran into each other. Unfortunately though being a CNC addict leaves little time for anything but.Hopefully one day though we can compare notes.
You inspire me Titan. Bless you bro.
Thank you for sharing your story Titan. I have my high school CNC machining students watch it for inspiration.
Thanks for sharing your story. These definitely lift me up to do something different in the Pacific region.
Incredible story. Thanks for the inspiration.
Man what a story , you had me tearing up , so inspirational , I have a cnc router and I m just trying to get my first contract happening , you got me fired up now , thank you so much
How did it go/ how is it going??
Back in the day we were a 5 to 6.6 million dollar a month company. If you ever walk into Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace Hardware, Sears, Walmart, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and bought paint and have them add colorant and then mix and shake them. We made those machine to tint and mix those colors together.
BEAUTIFUL, it touched me as a starting machine builder
Спасибо! Очень вдохновляет и рассеивает сомнения.
Your awesome. I love the rise and grind story. Similar situation and I just started cnc machinist courses. I looked forward gaining my experience as well.
Crazy to here your story!!! You have multiple talents. Perfect speaker!!! Can't believe that I met you here!
All I can say is wow! Your story is very inspirational.
Holy cow, that was energizing!!!! Thank you!!!
Wow I'm in love with your story you kept it strong you never gave up you pushed throw it day and night God blessed man ❤️💪💯 one day I'll be the best Machinist. It's only time and effort and people too support you and never give up 💪💯
Praise God Brother, I'm going through the same right at this moment.. Thanks for sharing..many Blessings
Larry O Shea.. 👍 😁
Im currently halway through a 16 month manual machining and cnc program. Im 26 and I absolutely love this trade. Im hoping that I'll be able to start building my own shop once I get more experience. Thank you for the videos
You are a wonderful person with a huge baggage of experience! all the time I wonder how you did it! I think it's important to do what you love! my dream was to build my CnC machine. I started many times but for various reasons I had to finish.
Consider me very inspired. More importantly, consider me not only motivated to complete my CNC training, but to do what I can to help others. I've been so fortunate to have family and friends help me when I was "hitting the skids", and I want to pay them back by paying it forward. Thanks you for sharing your story and doing what you do. One love, brother...
You need to watch today’s also #20 and #21
Change the World Brother
@@TITANSofCNC Just finished watching the video about your story in front of the Twin Cities Mens group. Moh-tiv-a-shun-al, to say the least... I'll check out #21 and #22 next. My instructor, Eddie Jackson with Palmetto Training palmettotraining.com is on the same mission as you are - he's a Christian who wants to really help people.
Spent a while as a "guest of the state", and will never go back. Manufacturing is one of the few industries that, for the most part, seems to care less about what you DID than what you can DO... AND will pay you a decent wage. Thanks again for what you've done and what you do, brother...
