About this episode

Eddie Riddell shares his journey from a New Zealand apprenticeship to running his own engineering shop in a remote city.

Eddie Riddell of Steele & Co Engineering joins Dylan this week from his one-man job shop in one of the most remote cities in the world. Eddie traces a wild path from a New Zealand apprenticeship to the Australian mines to going out on his own, buying Haas machines sight unseen from across the world and landing on a DN Solutions SMX mill turn. They get into learning G-code out of necessity, why turning tools in Fusion are a nightmare, and the fixtures that have no business working but do. Plus the payment dispute he settled with an angle grinder.Eddie's YouTube for his boat, container house, and other builds: https://www.youtube.com/@eddiereddierEddie's IG @steele_co_engineering-----------------------------------------Help support the podcast www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast
