    I have a little project I’m working on and I need a mold made. The machinist I’ve used in the past is selling off his equipment and going bass fishing. Can anyone suggest a good machinist that works from home or has their own shop. I really want to avoid the big shops and the ultra-expensive hourly shop rates if possible.

    Thanks everyone.

    A mold for fishing lures, of course!

    I have drawings if that will help. Looking for a 2 part mold machined from a standard do-it blank. All files are available in .igs format or I can have the engineer export to suit.

    You know how to contact me. Lets talk.

    Try Lurecraft. They will make a mold for soft plastics for about $60.00

    James;

    In the past, I sent you to Greg @ Rule Design. Can he help you on this or put you through to the right people?

    Also, “Jason” knows some machinist that are top notch…….

    Give me a shout at work if you need some numbers…..

    Man… I’ve got so many contact numbers right now I’m begining to think you and I are the only two people here that don’t have a CNC mill… lol

    I’ll holler if I chew through this list of people without success. This mold is a pretty straightforward piece so I’m not worried about finding someone that can do it. IT will come down to how cheap I feel today.
