With your attitude here, you should not bother posting a RFQ, nobody wants to machine parts for a dickhead, no matter how much they pay!
Thank you! I will take that as a compliment.....
It goes like this, I have subbed this work to folks on here that have miserably failed. One of our own Matt's on this forum ran into the same issue subbing his parts. They looked like shit to us professionals but to the hobby guy he thought he was doing just great. When your a professional shop you want to work with those that are on the same professional level. I have to follow the instructions given to me from my buyers, so why can I not ask for the same when I sub my work?? If a Boeing buyer asks you to send in your quotes on pink stationary, then it is not my place to question or disregard there request if I want to work with them now is it.
I have no issue dealing with garage guys as I was one once, and I know everybody starting out needs a helping hand to create there own business model regardless of how big or small they want it to be.
The issues I see in this RFQ section stem from the employed guys that think they can use there company's equipment like it's there own. A flash in the pan job to make extra beer money if you will. There is no longevity or stability in dealing with those folks. What are you going to do when Johnny looses his job and your parts are stuck in someones shop, who has know idea they are even there cuz Johnny was doing them on the DL....
I choose to work with people who are like minded. Want to work hard and get shit done at a professional level. None of us can afford or have the time to waste on print collectors or dreamers....so call me a dickhead and I will wear that badge proud because I believe in something that the kids out there have forgotten or never learned and that is professional courtesy. My shop is AS9100 certified, there are 4 of us that work here, if being a dickhead and sourcing to the right people is what got us here then again I will wear the badge honorably. Professional people yield professional results.
