You probably have me confused with someone else.....unless you used to live in S. IL? I don't own a commercial shop, although my middle son does a little fab/repair work for extra money. I just love to play with and do use a lot of metal working equip out of necessity ( remember the "toys/junk"). Have a small shop here at the house set up with a small Lathe, mill, metal band saw, plasma cutter, arc, mig, brake, shear, roller and the other small necessities. TIG setup and Iron worker will be my next main purchases.
About the only way you'd know who I was is: I have owned rental property and worked for Il Dept of Corrections for years. I have rented to hundreds and after 25 yrs., probably forgot most of them. I've probably "worked" with 30 thousand ( IDOC).....Hope I've never given you my, "Hey, we've all made bad decisions" speech. Church maybe?
I have been an avid off road MC enthusiast for 40 yrs though, but doubt you know me from that ( anymore you can call my riding style "Rag Doll" :thumbdown

but I was never notable, except to my friends " DUDE! I thought you were dead! You think you can ride back with THAT rim and those bars"?.
