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

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.

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!




Is that marks_man_ or marks_woman_? grin
