Why is it so hard...

Thanks for such a comprehensive reply Scott. That explains why the companies I find are not interested!

It's a shame that there is no directory for small workshops that could take on this sort of work.

The laser workshop I use is in Medway and they were good but I need to go down the cnc route with the product now. I lived in Medway up until 10 months ago.

Hi Matt,


The answers are always there, It's a matter of if we can discover what they are. As always, all it needs is that person with that sort of knowledge to give the answers. Fortunately my working life has crossed the boundaries of different manufacturing sectors to know such generally useless information :)

I agree a directory of us small guys would be a mass bonus. Maybe the forum could set up a section for the guys like me (and the others I see here) who are in Engineering orientated business, but very small. In the forumi often see guys who really need a business rather than a homer to do work due to factors, scale, quantity, knowledge, time scale etc. It would help out both parties in making a small forum section.

Who did you use for the cutting Matt? Again there are several of them in this area.


Kind regards,


Scott

I used Campbell.

Great, friendly guys who were willing to do small job runs.

Ah Adrian, I know him well from previous years. I don't deal with him much these days but yes, he is one of the good guys.



Kind regards,

I was dealing with Billy. Very nice guys and willing to listen to a nutter who wandered in off the street with a memory stick!
