<div> </div>Machinists are magicians... a good one can take a lump of
steel or aluminum and turn it into art! I have known many good machinists in
my life, and every one of them is a very highly valued craftsman. You have
every reason to be proud! Having access to a good machinist is worth WAY more
than money!<br><br>Steve H.<br><br><br>On Dec 16, 2013, at 10:37 AM, Steven

the rear axle seemed like a good project, because I can just provide him with
an axle nut and ask him to make a socket for it. Some of the other ideas
are a bit more like engineering projects with a machining component. I
don't think this is an opportunity for a "production run", more like just an
item or two. Whatever he makes will probably have to stay in his
"portfolio" for a while for grading and showing off while looking for a
job. Depending on where his career takes him, there may be some
opportunities for other MG stuff in the future. I'm very proud of him
and I think it will be cool having a machinist in the family.<br>> <br>>
