Hi,
I just moved over here E. of Pittsburgh,PA. in Westmoreland county a year and a half ago and want to find someone who's a good dude to bring machine work to;if I can't find anyone local I'll send my parts away but don't like to do that.I live in an apt. and work out of a storage that I'm renting & it doesn't have electricity.I'm batting '0' so far on the last 2 people that do machine work around here...;I brought them my parts and they didn't do anything.The last kid did a couple things(he advertises on ebay & don't seem to care) but he's giving up too. I'm also looking for someone local who'll do a few small welding jobs for me.
I want to get a couple little cylinders honed to fit & a crank rebuilt to start with and don't think it's right to charge $85 to hone a little 40mm cyl. out .010in. which is what the local 'auto machine shop' want's me to pay;I have other work for a bike machinist and a welder that I need done also.. I'm only working part time now and need to pay the rent,food,bills,etc. but I Will pay as soon as the job is done.
I was waiting all Winter for the first machine work dude(who dropped one of the cast iron cylinders and ruined it;I had to get another one and he wouldn't reimburse me for it :'( ) and he never even did a thing.
thanks for any feedback
