I saw this on another forum and think it would be great here:
All of us builders face at one point or another during our build with the folowing question - "do I pay some shop to do ________ (insert whatever it is here) or do I buy the tooling and build it myself?"
This question mostly arises when that something requires an expensive tool.
How about a dedicated forum or database of tools/services that members are willing to share. This of course isn't about a 4.5" grinder but tools like tube benders, lathes, mills and other relatively high dollar machinery or special skils.
This will allow forum members to offer some small time services for a few bucks to offset the cost of the tools, while the guys that pay for the service may save a few bucks over going to a shop and know that their hard earned goes to help other forum members.
So, if it sounds like a good idea users should list the following -
1. Your location
2. Tools that you willing to rent/loan
3. Services that you may offer - please note if only locally or shipping is okay, also note if you have certain limitations.
Oh and we'd get to know each others first names. :)
