Do any of your winter projects include custom machined parts? If so, why not consider learning to machine the parts yourself?
There are currently openings available in my machine shop class at San Bernardino Valley College. Here I can assist you with learning MasterCAM, SolidWorks, and both conventional and CNC mills and lathes. This class can help bring your projects to reality.
The machine shop at SBVC has 9 conventional mills, 12 conventional lathes, 4 Haas CNC mills, and a Haas lathe at your disposal.
This 4-unit class meets Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 10pm, beginning August 19, 2014 and ends December 16, 2014. Tuition and fees amount to $215.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Cheers,
Joe
