As I mentioned in a previous machinist post, I'm a machinist.  My electrician wired my lathe last weekend, TIG welder also, and this weekend the rest of the phase converter parts should be here and the mill will be going.   I'll post up when everything is switched on and if you are willing to ship it out here, we'll fix it right up.  And mods, let me know if this bit of advertising is a no-no and I'll delete it. 

Thanks, Robert

Almost forgot.  I'm in Santa Maria, CA, and I'll ship some nice weather in the box back to you.

Man I love this board!  Thanks for the offer Corndog, but Hooligan Machinist beat you to it.  Shipped the upper to TN yesterday.  Price has yet to be determined completely, but let's just say I won't need the lube :o
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Good going.  I'm up and running, I don't have CNC capability yet, maybe in a year or so, so no big contouring operations, but for stuff like boring triples, making and changing out steering stems, adapting whatever you have to whatever you want to put it on, I can do it.   PM me if you will give me a chance. 

Thanks, Robert

It sounds like you might be the go-to-guy for welding cracked cases.

Are you going to convert your manual mill to CNC?  Or buy another CNC mill?  I've heard that it's a real job to convert say a Bridgeport to CNC.  I have a manual lathe and mill and a surface grinder and a lot of other stuff but they're for my personal projects.  I'm low on the learning curve and even though I have the machines  I'm still a wannabe machinist.

Sorry for the thread jack but it seems like it's winding down anyway.

+1 for Hooligan Machinist.  Got the bored triples this week and his price could not be beat! The trouble now will be finding the time to powder coat and install.

/more threadjack.  During my career as a student I lived in Arroyo Grande.  Was a nice area then although I haven't been back for years.  Somewhere I still  have a wooden nickel free drink token from R&D's if the place is still there.

Back on machine shop topic, there used to be a real blacksmith shop in AG where the guy would pound out red hot iron on an anvil just like the movies.  I'd guess he's long gone by now and I don't think he'd bore triples anyway.

It takes a lot of experience to pound out some 53mm, nice round holes with a ballpeen hammer!!!
