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.


Benefits: Company-supplied sidearm and subsidized ammunition. Shooting
lessons.
Best regards,

Well, I DO have an indoor range...when production employees aren't in the
way. The best marksman here isn't the Viet Nam Special Forces Veteran, it's
my bookkeeper!
