1 | 6/13/2026 10:36:33 | Jewelry, Machine Shop | Flexible. | Hi. I need help making sterling silver custom contact screws for tattoo machines I’m making. It is basically a screw 3/4 inch line threaded 8/32. With 1/4 inch left unthreaded. The unthreaded part can be left bare, or knurled. Or some simple design. Ideally I’d like to get C.H.F.C. On the bare part. But most importantly I need to get the screws made. Again ideally I’d like 50. But I’m flexible and would be happy with a smaller amount. Any amount really. Please feel free to reach out if you feel this is a job you’d be interested in. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. Hope everyone is well. | Flexible. | Small buisness | Two Cranes Tattoo | 646-229-0184 | Email or text. Nicholasleetattooer@gmail.com. 646-229-0184 | Nicholas Johnston 6/13/2026 | ||||||||||

I need someone to weld a piece of angle iron along the lower edge to direct water runoff to the ends of the overhang. The overhang is very strong and weight bearing, was installed 20 years by my brother, a certified welding inspector, and is only 10ft off the ground. The entire perimeter would require roughly 30ft of angle iron, in sections. | Anytime | Personal | Location in central Berkeley | Kristin Leimkuhler | 5108470631 | Text me at 510-847-0631 | Kristin Leimkuhler 10/1/25 | |||||||||

We have kind of a unique and specific need that would be focused on your welding and/or ironworking classes. We have a stovetop from an industrial brand called Dacor that is missing a grate. We have searched high and low for a replacement and have come to understand that there are no longer any replacement grates available. We need one made to a specific size but it doesn't have to match the grates that are currently on the stove. In fact, if someone from The Crucible wants to design a different grate that fits the overall specs we may actually want you to make two. Our kitchen is a bit eclectic so a lack of uniformity would fit and we would see that as fun. I can send you a photo and give you all the specs if this is a project that sounds interesting. I'm not sure how this works in terms of payment and/or donation so would love to hear more about that if this fits the kind of project you would want to take on. | Completion by early to mid-November | Personal | https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fn7ltz2gC0vUsbYyRXK7FDmqO3cHJgWt7xQFkK4qaME/edit?usp=sharing | Jim Chastain | 3145373163 | my email is jimchasrc@gmail.com | Jim Chastain 9-5-25 | |||||||||

96 | 1/24/2025 7:38:18 | Blacksmithing, Enameling, Foundry, Jewelry, Machine Shop, Moldmaking, Don't know. | I don't know, probably more than 50 bucks. | One Off Hand Made Fishing Reels, I have done some rudimentary metal work. I have a very comprehensive shop in terms of the basic tooling, lathes, mill etc. I need a consultation on the "other" tooling I will need to acquire to get to making reels. I plan to make reels from coin silver, nickel silver, copper alloys, brass, bronze, so I need to be able to make blanks to cut out parts since some of these metals are not available in the sizes I would need. Also some parts are best cast not cut, like reel handles and foot. A continuing relationship consulting while I go through the process a few times would be great. I am exploring a slightly different angle on the traditional fishing reel, back to its jewelry roots. So I need to be able to take various metals to molded rough parts to finish on my Jewelers Lathe. Some parts can be easily cut out of sheets or cylinders like Aluminum but Nickel Silver just doesn't come in usable sheets of cylinders. The parts I'm making will probably never exceed 4 inches, typically 2 to 3. I have about 70 pounds of a very pretty alloy called white bronze that was made up for another reel maker decades ago but he could never use it, it is filled with tiny bubble voids, to use it I'll have to remelt it, get it into molds, vacuum, and vibrate. This is my loose understanding....I also want to use enameling on my reels as well as aggressive heat treating for finishes, kind of like a knife maker. To move on to this next phase of tackle making I'll need a consultant to both figure out what I need in tooling and then to guide me through the various processes until I've got a routine for it worked out. Ultimately, I will make fly fishing kits in which I have made everything, rod, reel, flies, box, as tributes to fabled fishing destinations. A rather daunting list of capabilities but all I need now is to be able to produce the reel. If you think this is cool call me. | now, I may want to purchase soon to avoid the coming tariffs. | I'm some kind of artist or other..... | The Whimsical Reel Company | 703 517 0496 | email or text | Joseph Scheer 1 24 2025 | ||||||||||
