Default Recommendations for outfits that will cut and weld blades from mystock?

Subject says it all. Much prefer to deal with someone between SF Bay
Area and Reno, NV, but open to other sources.
Yeah, I was going to try silver soldering, and even try to make a blade
welder out of my hand held spot welder.

But reality intervenes, and besides, I have a buddy with a Carolina saw
that takes an odd length. They want $50 each for blades that don't look
or perform all that well.
He would like to buy some quality bulk stock and get blades cut and
welded. I think I could manage a 3/4" blade with my spot welder if I had
time to make the setup, but I'm not so sure it would handle his 1"
blades. Anyway, for now we'd both just like to find someone that knows
what they are doing, ship the bulk stock, and get usable blades back.

Suggestions?


Thanks,

Jon
