Membership Levels: What You Get at Each Tier
Three ways to engage. Pick the one that matches where you're at. The difference isn't content. It's proximity to me. Standard - $9/year For watching and learning. • Post questions, get answers from people who actually use this stuff • See wins and breakdowns from other shops • Access starter templates (1-2 basics) • Preview clips from past calls Best for: People exploring. Lurkers. Folks who want to see if this is real before committing. Premium - $99/month For shops ready to actually fix things. • Weekly live office hours - Fix issues in days, not months • Template Vault - Base specs, pricing imports, SOPs that work • Database Health Checklist - Find the gaps before they cost you • Breakdowns - Real ESTmep, CAMduct, and reporting walkthroughs • 20+ years of fab-tested tips - Not theory. What actually works in production. Best for: Shops with active database pain. People who need problems solved, not just discussed. VIP - $499/month You get me. Directly. • Monthly 1:1 strategy call - Your database, your problems, my full attention • Send 1 item or service per month - I'll fix it and show you how • Private thread access - Fast answers when you're stuck • Early access to tools and betas - First in line for new templates and packages • Everything in Premium included Best for: Shops that want it done right, now. People who value speed over figuring it out alone. This tier exists to prevent rework, delays, and expensive guessing. Limited spots. The Bottom Line Standard = Access Premium = Answers VIP = Me fixing your stuff Questions about which tier fits? Post below or DM me. - Tim

Your Database Should Be Your Edge. Not Your Bottleneck.
Your Database Should Be Your Edge. Not Your Bottleneck. You're running a fabrication shop. Estimators are hunting for pricing that should be in the system. Fittings missing from the database - again. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you know: When Dave retires, half of what he knows walks out the door with him. Here's what nobody tells you: The software isn't broken. The setup is. The big shops winning bids? They're not smarter. They're not cheap. They just have systems that work. What This Place Is This is the only place online built specifically for people who run ESTmep®, CAMduct®, and CADmep® databases in real fabrication environments. Not theory. Not generic Autodesk support. Not consultants who've never touched a plasma table. Shop-floor knowledge from 20+ years in the trade. Who I Am I'm Tim. Came up through Local 73. Ran operations at a sheet metal shop for two decades. Built the databases. Trained the estimators. Fixed the messes. Now I help contractors like you get the database right - so bids go out faster, pricing stays accurate, and knowledge doesn't leave when people do. The Real Problem I've watched shops spend tens of thousands on software they never properly set up. Estimators working around the system instead of with it. Knowledge trapped in one person's head - until that person leaves. That's the enemy here. Not the software. The chaos that happens when nobody configures it right. This community exists to fix that. One database, one shop, one problem at a time. Your First Move You already know what's broken. Post it. Name the bottleneck. We'll fix it together. Welcome aboard. - Tim

I help metal shops work smarter with computers. 20 years in sheet metal - from apprentice to manager. Now I make computers do the boring work for us!
