In a way, I can understand the machinist's attitude. He didn't really want the job, and he wants to make sure you know it, and never come back.
Hey Rich... what alternative did Dave have? You have a combo Mill/Lathe in your basement. Some of us are not that fortunate, and have to pay the going rate to those who are equipped for the work...

I plan on the same modification for my Semi-Thompson... I already have the 1928 buttstock. I don't own a mill. So I can either invest the $180 toward buying my own milling machine or a milling attachment for my lather, or pay someone who already has one...

Are you taking in work for free now?
