I put an ad on Craig's list at 11:00 AM and had my first call in an
hour! My ad:

Part-time machinist / machine builder wanted. Flexible hours, retired
person OK. We need you to make and assemble machine parts from prints
and examples. 216-791-3265

The first guy interviewed at 3:00 PM and he works about 2 miles away
as a CNC programmer with 20 years previous experience as a tool and
die maker. We seemed to be on the same page as far as expectations on
both sides. I'm hoping for a "Human CAD/CAM" system, I just have to
dream-up stuff, draw it, and it will magically appear as finished
parts and assemblies! The big advantage I see is he'll be all mine,
nobody will redirect his time and efforts as he will be coming in for
a few hours as everybody else is going home.

I've gotten 6 calls so far with two other guys that sound good. Three
bowed out when I told them what part of town I am in...the wimps.




Are you _sure_ that you can't afford more than one? grin

It sounds like you've found 1 "winner" and may, even, be lucky enough to be
on the way to even more. GRIN
