    Needed - Machine shop near Highlands Ranch/Littleton

    I need to have the hub of a wheel milled down a little bit and some zinc coated spacers made. Anyone have a reputable shop they can recommend for me?

    You can use my mill if you want.

    Put it in manual mode and it would probably only take a few minutes...

    Well then, that certainly changes things. The hub and spacer are cake. The bracket is cake too, but I would program the machine and CNC it instead of manually cutting that part.

    I know this sounds lame, but I've been pretty depressed over the 'no jobs out there' thing. I have other people who need parts and I just can't seem to find the drive to go out into the garage and start making parts.

    Perhaps a cup o' tea and some meditation!

    If you found the motivation, I would pay you whatever you wanted to help me out You are, after all, a perfectionist. that is what I need.

    I don't charge my friends for things like that. Maybe I should and it might give me the extra motivation.

    I probably could make money with the machine. It's not a production machine, so the duty cycles could be pretty hard on it if I used it to make money.

    I'll give ya a call. I'm trying to light a fire under my ass and get things rolling with side stuff. Perhaps if I can get enough, it will get me a little farther down the road. This weekend I'm busy finishing up a small remodel. That gets me enough money for another month. After that...
