I did work as a welder for a container manufacturer also as a mechanic, so I guess I have that one covered.

I already have a drill press and it seems I can add a cross vise and milling bits to this to make a low cost milling machine.
This will give me the ability to machine the motor laminates which can be bolted together to make the rotor and stator parts.
