You'd be surprised, i'm not saying you definitely will but even if you cant, the perspective that comes from having another skill often provides an extremely valuable point of view.
There are people out there that provide a very specific service cutting kitchen worktops, explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux3EZhhYdZo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux3EZhhYdZo
Its typically done with a jig and a router, its not that hard IMO, but a lot of kitchen fitters either cant do it well or hate doing it and they hire someone to do this (as well as other things like sink cut outs) and they get paid DAMN GOOD money to do that, especially if you can show up at a new housing development where you can bash out 30-100 homes as one job.
Personally, while i have no experience with CNC's, i know what they are and how they work and i reckon theres a way to make this job more efficient by having a CNC machine in the back of a van that can be setup to cut these joints. I've not tried this idea, but i may do it one day.
This is the kind of different persepective you can have from completely different skillsets and experiences that people who do the same thing day in day out for years just dont arrive at.
- mft_ 6y agoHave a look at the Shaper Origin. I’ve not used it myself (and it’s not cheap) but its handheld nature may suit your use case even better than a traditional CNC in a van.
