#Machining #Machinist #Engineering #3DPrinting
I'm an addict in recovery from heroin, I have like 8 years clean. I'm a third generation machinist and couldn't imagine my life without manufacturing. It also helped to save my life. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Long lost brother? 😂
Maybe? Lol keep up the great work
Awesome job my brother! Keep up the great work! Much love
I came out of school 2020 with that exact adetude, nothing in this world could have made me work for anything.
Then i started an apprenticeship at a Mouldmaking company and my whole life did a 180.
Long story short they fired me / i quit bc of the way i was treated and am now working fulltime for a company just a few Km from my home.
On the other hand if i had never started that apprenticeship i would have never come this far, I (just like Barry) owe machining my life.
Its nice to see that, no matter what, with machining you can and will have a good job that pays well and teaches you a lot.
For all the guys out there struggeling to live on a day to day basis i can only say: Start machining, you wont regret it.
I'm a 61yo fitter/machinist in Australia who regularly maintains CNC machines and the size of your house which are used to machine large carbon fibre wing components for a very well-known aircraft manufacturer. I am continuously amazed to the complexity and accuracy todays that CNC machines are able to achieve even on very big components. Robots on rails are also being used to CNC machine components once done by stand-alone machines. It is a shame here in Australia we ran down metal trade occupations in the 90's in favour of service jobs. As such there are very few apprentice's and young tradesmen behind me. The good news is that I will never be out of work until I retire and I too earn way into six figures.
I'm a year out of my apprenticeship and your videos have been a massive help to my thinking to how I operate my machine everyday and that has helped me succeed to the level I'm at only a year out.
Barry, I love the brutal honesty about how bad past Barry was and how you were able to move on from the past and become an extremely productive member of society and in a way give back to those who are in your spot. In a society that focuses on "woe is me, everything is out to get me" I appreciate you being like "no, I can do better than this" and dedicating your life to this craft. Keep up the good work on inspiring others to hopefully go out and do awesome things.
Great story Barry! It’s a pleasure to work alongside you at TITANS of CNC
I work for the city of New York as a machinist. As you might have heard there is a migrant crisis here. If we could harness all the manpower of these migrants and underserved people in public housing we could manufacture our way out of the many crises we now face. Jobs, Education, Meaningful solutions to real problems. It's all there if only somebody with sway and vision could lead that effort. All of you guys are an inspiration. You've changed the perception of the machinist trade. Not an easy task considering the headwinds you faced like classism and deeply held yet wrong-headed idea that college is the only path to financial success and the ability to live a dignified life. I appreciate you guys doing such good work. And I love the machines!
That's inspiring. A positive message is always welcomed.
Спасибо за очередное отличное видео, коллеги.
Привет из России, с Урала.
Thank you, Barry, for a personal journey. I hope that hundreds, if not thousands of people see this and get a chance to change their life.
We all come from somewhere; it's what we do about it that counts. Glad you made it to us Barry!
from Bharat (India): love your machine shop videos. as an engineer having worked as an entrepreneur I really feel awesome seeing all of your cnc machines and jobs you turn out. a big thumbs up sir.
awesome Barry.
been at machining and tool making 39 years now. last year got my hands on my first 5 axis machine. have had zero official training on the machine or the software i use yet. but luckily for the boss, i still thoroughly enjoy learning on my own every day.
you guys have been a great help and motivation.
keep it up and thanks.
Thank you for sharing your story, Barry! I know it’ll inspire many in the community.
Thank you for sharing such a eye opening story
Thank you for sharing! This gives others the opportunity that you have received and deserved.
Barry, thanks for sharing. I'm only a couple years older than you but have spent years on disability due to serious mental health issues. Having a background in computers and a former high school love of machining is what drew me to the channel, and renewed my interest in this field but there aren't any opportunities locally to see about learning hands on.....that I am aware of lol. I get a renews sense of purpose watching all your videos, thanks.
Great job on really realizing you were on a extremly destructive path and turning it around, keep sharing your story as it will change other lives. Also your a real " Ham"
I'm glad you shared this with the channel Barry; this is such a great story.
Barry ! Awesome that you share this Experience ! i was in jail and did Gigatons of Drugs and am sober now, love my Home machine shop and also want to be a cnc Hero one day ! i hope its not to late yet, i am 31 and love to work with my lathe and mill at home . ! Cheers from Vienna Austria !
Great vid thanks for sharing your story … goes to show people can change when they really want to 👍
Thanks for sharing Barry & keep up the great work, You and the rest of the team are a huge inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. 👊💪
I love you Berry. Your stories are inspiring and also showing that our life obstacles are nothing compared to what other successful people went trough.
Thanks bro! Gotta love the struggle!
I started watching this channel after I got into production on CNCs. Being young and making medical parts, I was worried about trying to move up from just production. Lots of eyes watching. This channel has given me a lot of inspiration for machining, and I am now 3 months into training set-up. Hopefully It comes easy, I'm excited seeing this path in my career being developed.
Such an awesome story. I love the work you guys do and can only wish to be able to be in the type of industry you guys are one day..
You’re the man Barry! Love your story!
Hard to escape when you have 5 Stars...love how straight up and honest this is. And awesome thumbnail Tyler.
Thanks man😗
@@TylerTITANSofCNCTippit #1love
this kinda brought me to tears , i had a sort o same expierience, i never knew what i wanted untill i started machining, i worked at a shop with only manual machines and i liked it and kept me on the good path, then they send me to school or cnc which went good till corona and i had to do online classes which i didnt follow, ater that i could not bring what i learned into daily work because i did manual but was learning cnc, years later i came to another company and started milling again with ''teach in'' machines, easy to use but they were amazed how i used it and made products almost perect, tihis motivated me to stopp al o the BS i was doing like drugs and partying and now im climbing and feel so much better and more worthy about mysel, its amazing what machining can do i u like it.
Very uplifting tale. I am pleased and you are blessed for the hard work and changes you made in your life. Ray Stormont
Barry, baring your soul to the world.
Absolutely beautiful. I have been watching for years now and vividly recall da boss doing the same, more than once. It's a beautiful thing to be so down to earth and honest, with the sole intention of helping younger people make the right decisions. Telling them that they have a future, at a time when they don't think so.
Chokes me up that you have the courage to tell your story not knowing the responses.
I love this. I think you made a lot of kids do some serious thinking today.
Unfortunately, you may never know how many lives you changed or redirected today. Rest assured tho, that you did/it will
I'm very happy for you. This channel wouldn't be the same without you onboard.
Thanks Randy! You never know who might need a little encouragement, and it’s a blessing to be in a position where I can tell my story publicly! Thanks for your support!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your story Barry!
Very inspiring. Thank you Barry 💪
Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal life Barry 🙌🏼🙏🏼
No problem man! Thanks for the support!
@@barrysetzer I started out kinda like you no experience and no degree at 26 yrs old I’m rolling into my 2nd year at my job out here in Michigan working with doosan 5700’s, 750, and a 4000 horizontal with a tombstone pallet changer I absolutely love it and learn something everyday and love making “stock” turn into beautiful money. I hope to progress more and hopefully help my company make more money with better run time if there’s room for improvements. And prove to them I’m of great value to the company as my years of experience grow.
Thanks for sharing Barry! I hope all is well. Hopefully you’re working on making us a new Christmas beat this year.
Hahaha i had a plan for last christmas but I ran out of time…..maybe this year!
RESPECT, dude!!
Thank you for your story and the wonderful things you do, right now.
Thanks homie! Out of curiosity, after seeing your name…..are you the guy on CNC expert that makes telescope parts?
Dear mr. Setzer,
No, I'm afraid not. I live in the Netherlands and I (try) to make replicas of historic telescopes. My current project is the famous red telescope made by Galileo. I am one of only 5 people in my country who ever saw the original telescope up close, out of the cabinet. The owner of the museum (IMSS, Firenze) took the telescope apart for me, so I could take measurements and photos.
I consider this a great honour. It's going to be the most accurate replica ever made of this telescope. At the moment, the project is on hold, but I am still working on it. This particular project is by far the most extensive, expensive, most accurate and most adventurous project of my life.
Finding a girl and marrying her was nothing, compared to this project !! hahaha...!! ;-)
BTW, my replicas are made of paper (genuine 300 to 400 year old paper !!) and wood. I need brass stamps to make the gold embossing. They will be made in England. By hand. Just the brass stamps alone will cost a fortune, and then there's the rest of the project.....
I need to win the lottery if I ever want to finish this project.... Sigh.....
Great life "history", Sometimes you need to go to the darkness to see the lighht right mr Machinist. Your story is impressive and I salute you and Titans for helping to bring back jobs to the sector ! And "made in USA" meanning quality.
I love this story.
At the end of the video there's a clip of a video where you're playing a video game. Where was that video shot? Is there more of that video posted somewhere else? While being a machinist myself I have a hobby of playing and restoring pinball machines and I just thought it was cool that my interests were kind of combined.
Hahahaha, me and Titan have a Galaga rivalry. He beats me most of the time. But that video was at a place in Grapevine TX called Corky’s. We do lunch there from time to time!
machining changed my life I'm also taking a machining course on universal machines but I intend to specialize in CNC soon 🙏🏻🙌🏼, and the message you give in the video I agree 100%, the world would be a much better place if people sought education to change their lives, they don't need to be at a university to do that
Love this. So true.
Thanks for sharing your story. A+ thumbnail 😂
Outstanding story inspirational
Love this story Barry youre awesome!
Thanks for sharing your story, makes me think
Privileged to hear your story. We all need some one who believes in us, and can help us to be more than we thought we could be.
For me, that guy is Titan Gilroy! Thanks for watching brother
Wow Barry. Thank you for sharing your past. I had no idea. It’s funny how when you really don’t know someone you just assume things about them good or bad. Keep learning, teaching and sharing, I believe that God has a purpose for all of us and He obviously cares about you and your family. I hope you keep up in this direction. Very cool video
Yeah man! God definitely has a purpose for all of us. And i am for SURE blessed that Titans was part of my path! Thanks for the support!
Subtractive manufacturing is phenomenal!
YASSSSS!
Convicted felon. So glad people looked past it and now I’m an Application/Service Engineer. One of five in our company in the USA certified to do a certain job. Some people learn from their mistakes.
Thank you for sharing your story a inspiration Michael
Such an inspiring story! Love it
Same story here Barry only difference is I ended up doing 4 years in prison and was 30 years old before I finally got my ass in gear and started my manufacturing career. I now teach the CNC and manual machining class where I graduated.
I got lucky, you not so much! But its what we did after that counts!
Life is a journey. In the end, you turned out with a great and fulfilling job.
The past is just reflections. Reality is today.
Regret? Wished that you could have a do over?
...big gamble.
It might have turned out much worse.
I hope you're happy with where you are now. You're doing a great service doing what you do. 👍
Life is a journey.
I hope i can have a story like this some day. I been clean 7 years now, but i dont have any skills that are worth money.
I think my net-worth has probably stayed the same as it was since i was a homeless drug addict, maybe less
What an inspiring story.
legendary.
I wish my grandpa and father owned their own business and taught me all those skills
Nice!
First lol
Manufacturing changes lives. Period!
How does this not have more likes?!?!?
Maybe some people hate the sound of my voice. Who knows 😂
What would all these machine shops do without you?
Sad to say, there are a lot of young people doing what you did when you were young and got no one to help out to change their life
We can’t help everyone but we’re trying… currently have 200,000 using our free curriculum and pushing hard to bring awareness to all.
Dear friend, this is serious, I thought they were lying to us about the decaying West.
@@TITANSofCNC I've said it before ....
...I'm waiting for your well deserved Nobel award. You're a force. I don't know how many newtons, because that's not my skill set. 😁
Your story and Barry's are proof that life can be redirected.
I'm not a machinist, tho I took machine shop in high school.....
in 1973 🫣
I'm wondering where the US machining industry would be without you.
...downhill instead of uphill for sure.
You're a very good man Titan. Thank you for what you do.
Knock it out of the ballpark, Barry!
When are we going to see these new Xsytin-360 end mills is the hype real
🤯🤯🤯
😮😮😮😮
Boom
Salute
I knew Barry was a G
OG triple OG 😂
Sick
I have always said machining saved my life. If it weren't for having this trade that I love, I'd definitely be dead or in prison.
Being a machinist paid for my stuff at the cost of my life
six figures? making 10x more then i am with the same job wtf
I have a criminal record and let me tell you many shops or companies are NOT interested in you or me with a record. The only places I can work are the shops who don't do a background search.
Your past was Your choice..
appreciet everthing u said in this video, u just chance another life
1,000%%%%
without engineers that went through years of math and physics , your machines wouldn't exist
And without machinists to run them… engineers would have no machines to make😜
@@TITANSofCNC engineers don't say machinists are useless like you say school is
@@TITANSofCNC and why is being are machinist and knowing science supposed to be opposites ?
@@titanicisshit1647school isn’t useless but in the modern USA it’s financial suicide without choosing a desired degree
Best machine shop on planet Earth? You guys are good but no better than most.
Come to the shop, and then tell me how you feel…..
Love the story and can appreciate it. I think lots of us have made extremely bad decisions in our past. I just didn’t get caught but it’s because of the mistakes that makes us who we are today. I was lucky to realize the direction I was headed in and made that change. We live in such a fake world today so kudos to you for the honesty. Much love and gratitude. I’m very thankful for you guys in all that you continue to do for us.
cnc Tambien cambio mi vida de las adiccines y no hacer nada de provecho, ahora tengo buen empleo y ademas lo disfruto desde el dia que conocí las maquinas cnc ese dia supe a lo que me queria dedicar
Glad Barry changed his life around YAASSSSSSSS!!!!
YASSSSSS! 😂
It's a wonderful personal experience. But if you work for the best company on Earth, not for something that has no thermopiles, no zombie end mills, etc., but just ordinary tools and no fixtures. Greetings to American brothers invaders from Russian brothers invaders.
Hahaha thanks for your support, from Texas to Russia!
