Why I Finally Left My CNC Home Shop | How We Do It Ep.10

Running a CNC shop out of your garage sounds like the dream — until reality starts stacking up. After years of moonlighting, five years of grinding in a residential neighborhood, and building his entire business in this tiny garage shop… the CONS finally caught up with Shawn. In this video, Shawn from ‪@SBSOLOCO‬ breaks down the real reasons he had to leave his CNC home shop: the noise issues, zoning restrictions, no deliveries, no room to grow, and that constant fear of one neighbor complaint shutting everything down. If you’ve ever thought about starting a CNC shop at home, this is what they don’t tell you. You’ll see the behind-the-scenes prep, electrical work, moving day chaos, surprises with utilities and insurance, and all the unexpected problems that come with running a CNC shop in a residential zone with strict limitations. And yeah — Shawn almost bit off more than he could chew.
