Just started a similar thread over on pirate4x4: We have a lot of design and manufacturing resources on here. Was just thinking about it because I do a lot of contracted design work, and have a bunch of dirtbike parts that I need to have machined. Looking for someone to manufacture some composite parts for me too. There should be a place on ADVrider where we can post about all this kind of stuff. Right? Maybe sort of like the classifieds, or like a vendors forum?
All ears. I have CNC Bed Mill / lathe / water jet / and all welding process's at anyones request. Can work off Cad drawings to napkin sketch's. 20 yrs doing work in research-design and fabrication of machine parts. Make a lot of "one off" parts. Always interested in working with my moto-buds on any type of project. Need to PM me if I can do anything for you. The water jet is a partner business so it is hard to give hugh discounts on that service, everything else machine-welding I can work cheap. Always willing to do confidentiality paper work if ideas are prototyping for future profits. UPS is at our door everyday and internet is always on- so distance is not a hugh problem. Located in Pagosa Springs ,Co .
I'll throw my hat in the ring here. I'm an apprentice at a small shop in Austin,TX and able to use the shop after hours. I've been itching to take on some projects of my own. Sent from my Ally using Tapatalk 2
I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. There should be an employment forum, too, jobs in the motorcycling industry.
I mostly make furniture but I'm also a wood patternmaker. Mostly patterns for small run sand casting but I also have a fair bit of experiance in making patterns for fiberglass molds, and at one time had a business making high peformance laminate molds, including flexable molds.
Ch-ching! I'm hoping to start a small project -- with zero skills & resources. Sounds like lots of expertise could be congregating here. Capitol idea, my good man!
I'm learning my way around this. I'm working on the first of what I hope to be many machined and composite products. Not really motorcycle related per say but fun. Trying to find someone that can help put some of my ideas into a physical form for a reasonable cost. Need some fairly high quality machine work.
Sent Baldy a PM when I started this thread, but can anybody bring it to his attention? Think a lot of us might really appreciate something like this, and hope we can make it happen.
