Brent---you are basicly doing something for your own pleasure--You do work in the mechanical eng field that is probably your main anchor for income.
However---you have out sourced your machine work, you have a valve on your time for which you claim you get paid, however you are selling parts much lower than the manufactures want them sold for---you as a wd or jobber should be selling to other shops or customers at a profit, not advertising that your price is lower than Tremec will let you advertise!!!
We have several thousand dollars tied up in inventory on the selves also--it is necessary to do that to have good pricing from the manufacturers and also its necessary to place large orders so the shipping unit cost is lowered. We also work with a broker for shipping and would be glad to pass his contact along as any money saved in shipping is a saving all the way around. To get the best unit cost on shipping an example---we get 8 dart blocks at a time so its a complete pallet load, similar deal on cranks from Callies and Scat ----
Other savings come from buying bearings, etc 100 sets at a time---you can mix and match part numbers so you don't have 100 of this 100 of that etc,
However, I don't believe someone can do the work by outsourcing all the machine work and only assembling the parts.
