I have been asked to teach a young man how to scrape and rebuild ways thru Make a Wish. The student is 16 and lives in SE Portland, OR. We thought we had a shop to do the class, but it turns out it is a work shop and not a machine shop.
I told Make a Wish we needed a Granite Surface plate and the work shop has granite topped work benches that you know would not work.
The class is scheduled for Fri, Sat and Sun August 14 - 16. from 8 AM to 5:00 or so. Dapra and Glendo are donating some tools for a lower price and I will be donating my time as a gift.
If you can to host I will teach you to scrape too as part of the gift.
I talked to Columbia Steel where we did a class last spring but they have 2 issues, They would have to wave their rules about no one under 18 can come on the site and they are not open on weekends. The best bet would be a small Machine shop that can be open for the weekend class. If that can't happen I would do a weekday class.
Please call me ASAP if you can help or email and I will forward your name to Make a Wish and they will contact you. 651-338-8141 & [email protected]
We need a machine shop with a lathe or mill to demo on plus a well lit work area with work bench, vise and 18 x 24 or bigger Grade A Granite surface plate. If needed Make a Wish will buy a Granite plate too.
Thanks and I hope you can help. Rich
PS: Don or Charles I put this in General because I figure more Machine shop owners read this forum. Thanks!
