Re: Shop owners

My idea for now is to take it slow, hopefully get a handful of jobs, and let word of mouth take over. My biggest concern is my location. I live in a town of 400. Obviously a rural town, which got me thinking in another direction....Being surrounded by farmers, elevators, ag storage, etc., mobile mig...
