Default Time to bite the bullet----

I would respectfully suggest that you bite the bullet, buy yourselves a suitable mill and lathe and teach yourselves how to use them. The cost of having work " Done out " at full commercial rates can be frightening. Perhaps put your valuable castings aside and build a few items from bar stock first . I would strongly advise joining your local Model Engineering/ Live steam group for advice and the chance of buying good tools and machines before they go up for public sale. I speak from experience here, I have been paid for making/ finishing/ repairing models for others . I fit the model making between" Commercial " jobs, enjoy doing the work, and always encourage my customers to do as much of the work as they can, so that they can honestly say" I made most of it. had a bit of help here and there" regards David Powell.
