ADV jobshop forum

jesusgatos · 09-26-2012, 11:47 AM

Just started a similar thread over on pirate4x4:

We have a lot of design and manufacturing resources on here. Was just thinking about it because I do a lot of contracted design work, and have a bunch of dirtbike parts that I need to have machined. Looking for someone to manufacture some composite parts for me too. There should be a place on ADVrider where we can post about all this kind of stuff. Right? Maybe sort of like the classifieds, or like a vendors forum?

Good idear.I just caught your thread on pirate.

All ears.

I have CNC Bed Mill / lathe / water jet / and all welding process's at anyones request. Can work off Cad drawings to napkin sketch's. 20 yrs doing work in research-design and fabrication of machine parts. Make a lot of "one off" parts.
Always interested in working with my moto-buds on any type of project. Need to PM me if I can do anything for you.
The water jet is a partner business so it is hard to give hugh discounts on that service, everything else machine-welding I can work cheap. Always willing to do confidentiality paper work if ideas are prototyping for future profits. UPS is at our door everyday and internet is always on- so distance is not a hugh problem. Located in Pagosa Springs ,Co .

I'm sure I'll have some stuff coming your way

I'll throw my hat in the ring here. I'm an apprentice at a small shop in Austin,TX and able to use the shop after hours. I've been itching to take on some projects of my own.

What kind of tools/resources?

Kernel · 10-04-2012, 09:28 PM

I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. There should be an employment forum, too, jobs in the motorcycling industry.

Hoping we can get something going. Sent Baldy a PM, but haven't heard anything yet.

Been building/restoring bikes for decades. I'm up for this.

Unfortunately it's irrelevant now. I got laid off this morning. :(

Oh man, sorry to hear that.

I mostly make furniture but I'm also a wood patternmaker. Mostly patterns for small run sand casting but I also have a fair bit of experiance in making patterns for fiberglass molds, and at one time had a business making high peformance laminate molds, including flexable molds.

I'm 20 miles north of San Luis Obispo, but I make it up to the bay area every other month or so.
