I am thinking of starting a shop, for those who can't produce machined work. I have a:

Lathe (metalwork + woodwork)
Milling machine
40w Laser Engraver
Pillar drill w/ many bits
Power hacksaw
MIG/MAG welder
Brazing hearth
Bandsaw
Sandblaster
Belt sander
Many hand tools and equipment.

Please don't abuse this, (if i start it) and please, 1 at a time.
I can do pistons, bolts and o-rings, but don't request anything damaging and/or dangerous, and please, keep it reasonable.

Please do not feel threatened if I turn down your request, it is probably because it breaches my rules.

The reason I am doing this is because many people don't have adequate facilities to produce something that they may want to do, and I know how it feels.

EDIT: Time to put a disclaimer in. I am not responsible for anything you do with my products, and users deal with me soley at thier own risk. I shall not create anything that can be used in a powder burning firearm, and I reserve the right at ALL times to refuse a request. Users alway shall pay for postage, as I will pay for materials and time (unless it is excessive). Any accidents caused by failure of any product I shall make is not my responsibility.

You should put a note in about postage.

I'm sure people will appreciate this..Also, for anyone in Australia who needs turning done I may be able to help. Will is in the UK I believe.

I'm interested.
don't request anything damaging and/or dangerous
No projectiles or cannons?

Not that I'd expect anyone to fabricate a cannon for free but are requests for parts only?

A hop up piston for BBMGs. One that'll fit nicely into a 1/4" compression T perhaps?

i would like a QDV piston but the materials i want and the shipping would make it quite expensive. but it would sure be a nice one, light weight, turbulance reducing cone on front.... everything

Ok now that it is unlocked, woah lots of requests.

I can do QDV pistons quite easily now seeing as I have already made a few for Biopyro.

I could probably do the HV as well and the same goes for hop up. Just PM me for details.

EDIT: oh and about cannons and projectiles, I can't just make you a cannon for free, and it would hardly get through customs anyway. But Projectiles...well I can't (although I could) make a hardened steel spike, but I could do something like Ultimate SG's stuff, but I think they would be pretty pissed at me; so it's a basic no.

Unsurprisingly you're inundated huh!
qwerty - I have a short (1cm between o-rings) piston which is a little cracked. It would just about work in a QDV, certainly until Willdebeers has more time. I can send it to you free, it just needs a hole drilling through really.

edit: it's cracked at the front, sort of a crater of nylon has come out, but will certainly still be usable.

Right. Time for some more orders. I can get all the pistons done (querty, Mr. S) but Mr.Sandman, do you really want 10!?

Oh and everybody, my names will. :lol:
