Talk Shop with Kyle Milan ft. Tim Drinkwater

It’s a special Talk Shop episode, and today I had the pleasure of chatting with Tim Drinkwater, owner of Accurate Machine Products. Tim’s story is seriously inspiring—he’s gone from starting a machine shop in his garage to winning a $100K CNC machine at IMTS, which is going to be a game changer for his business. In this episode, Tim shares the details of how he won the giveaway, his approach to building a successful CNC shop, and the challenges he’s faced along the way.

We also dive into lessons learned from over 17 years in business, why consistent content on platforms like LinkedIn is key, and how he’s leveraging new tools to streamline operations. Tim’s journey is a testament to the power of persistence, good karma, and having the right mindset. Tune in to hear some great insights on running a machining business, managing growth, and finding that balance between work and family life. 💪
