I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go about starting a part
time shop up? I would not be doing a lot of work, but would like to do
this proper, and legal so as not to worry about the IRS or anything
like that. Im a machinist full time but get request for machine work
and welding on occassion. I know a lot of people say "just take cash"
but that doesnt seem like the best solution.
         What are the correct steps? I do not have an accountant yet,
and I dont know anything about running a buisness. Any help would be
great,
                                Thanks,
                                        Craig
