Dan Gelbart started a company making high quality prototypes for other companies. They were very good at it, and developed a reputation as such. Eventually Kodak bought them for a BOATLOAD of money, and Dan eventually retired from Kodak.
Now he has a home shop that any engineer would be envious of and sets the tone for how some equipment could be used in a maker space. This video series goes through the various methods of fabrication, explains pros, cons, best use cases, and a brief how-to. I find at least 1 helpful nugget each time I re-watch them.
I hope you weren’t planning on doing anything else this evening 
Cheers-
