The foundry that I work with has just run a new batch of castings for me, somewhere in the neighborhood of 260 sets, but I have not seen them yet and have no idea what the rejection rate is going to be. Even with the anticipated rejection rate, I should be able to get another 25 sets of hinges out of this batch, which should supply builders well past the next presidential election I currently have enough castings in inventory to fulfill all standing orders. Now to find the time to get them done for all of you... -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=468950#468950 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:21:57 PM PST US From: John Woods Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Vi Kapler hinges Oscar, What's involved in working the rough castings to finished product? Is it something I could do with basic shop tools & equipment? I'm thinking, drill, grinder, etc. Not milling machines or CNC.....
