I'm starting my own machine shop in a few days. I'm revisiting all the (g)old videos. Guess what, these videos are super helpful.

[@nickmann5822]

You know that you help people and that's awesome. Yet I still think you have no idea how much, I have been a CNC programmer for years and bc of you plan to start my own business. We have pretty much the same backstory. Poor, locked up, homeless, and finding the Lord. I truly believe I found you because of God, you Sir are simply an inspiration.

[@fiberop635]

One thing I like about him is that his very patriotic. I come from a different country and its sad to see people here that have so much disrespect and they have no idea how good they have it here. I'm glad he's doing well you work hard you can make it.

[@grahamsilverson3052]

Taking over my first space in two days. I'll be doing a walk through like this in a few years. Love from Ireland

[@brendanmackenzie6834]

Im Addicted to your videos. I found myself not caring about perfection recently. This shook me. Thanks Titan.

[@aphid0352]

“From the moment they come to my shop, I take them on a journey of excellence.” That will be remembered.

[@123kkambiz]

Titan talks from his heart, and I love this man ,

[@henryfourie9256]

Titan I have just come across your channel and WOW you are a man I gain a lot of knowledge from. I have just had my eleventh brain op and in the process got laid of. And your mantra of going out there and being tenacious resonates completely. Your a man of passion and integrity.

[@nicholasfarrell261]

Likewise, I am from the UK but you have a wonderful enthusiasm that is infectious. I am also an Engineer so I am keen to learn new skills, learn and evolve or give up, I am more Lewis Hamilton then Valtteri Bottas not about to give up.

[@salemcolina4170]

I'm not American but this really inspired me,thanks Titan,booom!

[@tonatiuhfitzgerald7867]

boom

[@WhyReady]

This is incredible! I really enjoyed your passion and your fire for what you do! I'm a German cnc mashinist and I want to crate my own maschineshop, your channel and all the great stuff you shown to us really helps me and letten me belive in myself and my dream! Thank you very very much man!

[@mbcncexpress302]

I am buying my first CNC mill machine today !

[@annastanley151]

Thank you. I am new to this, working, marketing and branding for a Tool and Die shop. Very well done.

[@shxpsixcreative4318]

This is a great channel. Definitely subscribing. Hoping to be updating my own videos soon. I'm currently in transition from Shop fabricator, to my own shop fabrication. This is a great story behind your brand, and I def respect the formula. Nice work Titan!

[@almaguer4892]

You are great mentor Titan. Your passion is intense and incredibly inspiring. The vision you have is remarkable, the amount of thought you put into every detail of your business is second to none.

[@mistrfinga]

Our perfection intimidates people. If we are not our own boss, we have trouble in the work place due to it. Keep strong, and helping others brother. Have a Blessed Day

[@supermankc8]

A mission statement!! I was just talking to my dad about this! I believe that is very important!

[@GreenDreamzGarden]

This is great. Congrats on all of your success. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching us all. Your a true inspiration.

[@davidmassengill5290]

Love the enthusiasm you have for what you do.. If only there were more leaders/owners like you out there.. I wish i lived in Cali id would love the chance to get a job at your shop and learn CNC from a guy like you.. I live and work near detroit at a machlne and tool shop that does work mainly for the automotive and automation industry.. I spend 10+ hours a day on a knee mill(bridgeport) and have been losing intrest in my job and been tryimg to figure out how I can transition from manual machining to CNC programming and operating but I cant afford the training/schooling so I'm stuck where im at for the time being.. Good luck with your company keep up the great work and keep at the videos I really enjoy them

[@polarisrcer]

I'm in Detroit also, I went from driving a forklift to swiss lathes in a couple years (and 5 job changes). Get after it

[@tdg911]

Titan, I like the way you think. Take pride in your work and most importantly how can I take care of the next person... It's not rocket science. Love your style and thank you brother.

[@russellalldredge9758]

A great motivational speech that is helping me feel like my plans are worth the risk.

[@edharm8446]

Well said sir! I will politely disagree with one small segment of your presentation regarding what you said about surface finish. Flawless would have been my choice of wording. Surface finish is a design requirement, too rough a finish the mating surface may be ruined; yet on the other hand too fine a finish the the mating parts may not seal properly, as in a piston ring sealing with the cylinder bore it travels in. Your focus and drive is outstanding and I love the way you present your company, from the advertizing, to the lobby, to the shop floor; first class all the way speaks volumes! I also love how you promote your business, the trade and American Manufacturing; thank you!

[@mikechristy9127]

Intensely inspirational Man, thanks

[@manwhocan9822]

Incredible how God created genes so AWESOME! that make who you are even though you don't know in life, but they will lead you there automatically once one is aligned to God. So COOL!

[@Cabdicasiis.Maxamed]

Love you brother. When are you coming back to Switzerland? Bring your son as well. We will challenge him with designing and manufacturing.

[@Imperial_Ninja]

This guy is amazing. So influencing !

[@monteesfarjani463]

Very true... "Only in America, a guy can come from a homelessness to build a job shop, because of freedom"

[@LegallyBlindFireHawk]

Love your attitude and advise. Thank you

[@CafeNFTs]

Mannnnn this inspired me!! Thank you Titan! 🙏🏽🔥👨🏽‍🚀

[@the1387]

Cool guy. Wish our leaders at work were like that.

[@j.penterprisetech8017]

[@Gunfighterhaft]

[@prinz10ga]

[@mikejackson3564]

Boom, I am now hooked......guess I am going to finish my CNC conversion of my mini-mill.....

[@MrDooDitty]

Inspiring Minds Inspire The Minds Around Them When we notice uninspired people that are part of our everyday routines, we must first look at ourselves and constantly improve ourselves first “One inspiration at a time”

[@daveringer9535]

Great video! Wish I worked for your shop.

[@StephenMattison66]

I love building stuff in SketchUp & working for myself, I think I'd love being a mini-Titan CNC owner...BOOM! Haha! #DOIT

[@sjonesinator2348]

Amen Brother. Love what you stand for. God bless the USA.

[@laurentianvmx1692]

This is intense, thanks !

[@aarondickenson7146]

Truly an inspiration. My father and I were talking about maybe having you come speak in our town in the future. 👊🏽

[@hilarymgindo4688]

I like you brother!!!!!!! And I plan to build a machine shop that make people know that I am going to treat their problem.

[@gman5986]

Thanks Titan for sharing your story. Ever considering being a coach for a top football team?

[@AlienKnives]

Thank you bro ❤

[@weldmachine]

A business should be able to sell itself as a High Quality item producer, and i like to see people talking positively about there business. But the reality is people give very little thought to the quality of items they just want to know $$$$$$$$$$. How much cheaper. Do not get me wrong we need to produce good quality items that are cheaper but rarely this can happen. We all know quality comes at a price, Time Spent is not for love its is for money that is why its called a business not a hobby. Love this video. But reality bites.

[@piolin23iq]

”Mission statement” is one of the 7 habits of highly effective people. From the company' to personal lifestyle.

[@zc3303]

How do we get in contact with you... I have a question and need mentorship

[@oscardavidrestrepocartagen8720]

No se inglés pero me encanta por q yo manejo una vf3

[@annysroboticlabmaheshan7960]

Thank Sir This is awesome. Sir I am Indian and am begginer in the cnc machining. I have sufficient know;edge of Software like Corel draw, Artcam . I want to start a small business of cnc machining. Would you recommend the basic machine which should I buy to start. Mahesh

[@123kkambiz]

There are many information in his weblog "titansofcnc.com" which are free, from programing in 3d using Fusion 360 software programs and videos will help you understand the the basics of CNC manufacturing, using CAD and CAM manufacturing in basic and advance level, I suggest you first thoroughly research and practiced the 3d programs in model and CAM programing, and also go to Haas.com which is cnc machine manufacturer and you can get extra information and videos and tips in CNC machine running, you can get many catalogue and cnc operating manuals for different CNC machines manufactured by HAAS , also you will find handbooks in Lathe and Milling cnc operating manuals. to buy the cnc machines you can start buying second hand machines in USA , just google , used Haas cnc used machines, you will find many working condition used machines. About what to buy it will depend what you want to manufacture and how much space do you have, start from small machines once perfected and have enough confident buy bigger and multi axis machines 4x or 5x which brings manufacturing process cheaper and competitive in market. Surely watch Haas and titans videos in youtube or in their weblog. Sorry Titan, no offence just helping to Mahesh to have some basic information. Nameskar

[@prathmeshkudalkar7506]

Want to know about vmc machine shop

[@hendriyawativinny802]

Man, Your brain is like a thousands of CNC working simultanously, very hard

[@gangadhardas3318]

Hello Sir I am Indian 🇮🇳..

[@moviesjean23]

How will you feel if some of your clients were from abroad ?

[@madhusudankhedekar9513]

Can get aaa job sir in your shop

[@marcuspeacock8799]

I really like most of this except about making something perfect. In a machinist eyes there is no perfect, only within tolorence or not within

[@shaiktajbaba9319]

Sir I am from India I like your video's and I am interested to study CNC machine program and operations

[@AMITYADAV-yz7nz]

How can I get job in this company I am indian mechanical engineering diploma holder

[@ryan11199]

Let's not forget were our talent comes from and that is God alone.

[@jesusmarywillsaveyou]

Amen. Glory to Jesus

[@TheAefril]

Right on Brother!! So many things that Titan says touches the heart. Maybe because he has so much passion, about the shop, US, morals, and he respects his fellow man! You can tell he has experience of being in Hard Times! Like the Phoenix, rose from the Ashes, and became a leader in his industry. He evokes loyalty in his fellow man, because he does what he says, and stands by those he supports by providing a good honest work environment. I cannot praise this channel high enough, Love from Sydney Australia.

[@abrahamwilberforce9824]

Came here to learn about maching, stayed to listen to a 10 min rant why America is great. But in all fairness, it is (I am saying this a German). The US is a country with a value based identity, which is more powerfull than the culture based identity many European countries have and the nothing identities based on some ideology or dictator so many other countries have.

[@elcacaro3849]

Why are u breathing heavy bro? Damn.

[@BryanRodriguez-wj9ls]

Cool video until he started with all the propaganda.
