Once I get them back I'll post some pics .. I haven't seen there quality or accuraccy.

If I'm satisfied with the product I'll get the OK from them to put there shop # out.

For what you're having done and the price they quoted that is dirt floor cheap.

I guarantee they are doing exactly that....this is also a legit job with receipt and all.

The shop owner seemed very interested in small/easy/non-contract custom jobs like this.

Here are my brackets...I was very pleased with fit and finish.

I ran into one problem..the owner isn't interested in having to convert a hand drawn print into CAM form.

I have a friend's son that works for the waterjet shop and will , for a small fee, convert your drawing/print into a dxf. file that can be directly loaded into the waterjet.

It will work like this ... contact my friends son and provide him with your drawing/print/ idea in your head... he then draws it into AutoCad and has it quoted ... you get a total cost.

He also wouldn't be responsible if your idea looks like **** once translated to steel..

can i provide my own dxf?

Like Carwash, I can generate DXFs. Not sure what's up with the secret agent stuff, but, it's a deal killer for me.

Thanks.

No secret agent .. just most people don't have the equipment/ability to generate a dxf. ...He wants the work he just doesn't want two dozen home fab guys knocking on his door with projects doodled on napkins. He's got plenty of work , I'm sure he'll survive without yours..;)

Mike , I don't know if he wants to keep it simple and only deal through my buddies son or if he will take dxf. files directly... I'll try to find out more info and post up.
