Didereaux,

I put him in my file and 'preciate the information.

Where is he located ?

Gratefully,
Courtney

Many mechanical parts cost a small fortune to replace.

I'm wondering if any members of this group have power equipment such as
lathes, milling machines, cutters, formers, molders, etc., [other than
welding], that they are successfully using to modify, repair, and
duplicate... pieces of varying materials.

If yes, what are you using and to do what ?

I recently ran into the problem of replacing/repairing a windlass rope
drum and it's unreasonably expensive and I'm motivated to unhitch from
vendors and suppliers to that extent possible and reasonable, which I
know varies from person to person.

Appreciatively,
Courtney


You might try this guy. He has a specialty one-man machine shop and last
time I checked was very reasonable. Also willing and capable to take on
'weird' object projects(grin)
