That would be "comrade machinists" wouldn't it?

I wouldn't 'expect' any machinists to give away their time. I was thinking more in terms of duplicating hard to find tools.

Thanks

I resemble the machinist statement so guess I'll step-up and say I'm in on making tools. Might need a break on material cost depending on the item, though. Just an offer..............

Yes, "Kamarad Machinists" in my thickest Kremlin accent while I try to mimic Putin!

Carter, and all the other "Comrade Machinists"

Material and skill put to said material costs money. Payment is necessary to obtain a product. To me it's that simple. I thank you, and any others that have the skill to help, for offering your time to guide us so we can know what is possible. I trust in all of our brothers to be more than fair when it comes to dealing inside our Brotherhood.

What needs to happen is someone with a complete set of tools would need to send them to someone like carter so he can look them over measure them and see what he thinks it would cost to make them.

I was a machinist many years ago and looking over all of the tools from the ones I made myself to just photos of the other nothing in this kit to do a complete rebuild would be copied without a problem.

The cost aspect of these tools is kent more was smoking crack on the prices!
