Machine shop woes.....

Machinist and Machine shops are all good as long as the money is going from your hand to their pocket. A true test of what this machinist is made of is when something goes wrong. And sooner or later they will go wrong, the guy is only human. It is how he handles the situation and how or if he makes it right. It took me many years and more than a few shops to settle on the good one I use and have used for over 32 years. But as it goes, he is getting old as well as I. But as long as he is willing, we will work together until one of us quits!
