March 5, 2010 Finding a Good Machine Shop

Googlemaps is a great computer tool. You can put in the business type you are interested in finding, like ‘Machine Shop’ in this case, and the general area of the country you are interested, for example, Minneapolis, then all of a sudden a map of the area pops up with a bunch of little yellow dots showing locations of the businesses about which you are inquiring. A local machine shop popped up almost within walking distance. I took the control bar tubes to the shop, met the owner, and explained what I wanted to do. He seemed agreeable to help (at $60/hour), so I left the tubing with him and he said he would call back when the holes were drilled “in a couple of days”.
