           I’m in my 60’s and retired. I wish to pass along as much information as I can to the next generation. My Life time profession has been Precision Machine work & Welding.  In the early days, Small Engine cylinder repair. Over the years I’ve found that employees, customers and students have been very responsive to the teachings of a senior fellow in the profession. I would like to sell a few more of my hand books but am happy to help for free with any of your special projects that you might have. Did you buy a used Lathe or Milling machine? I’d be happy to help you set it up. Maybe a boring bar or an older Sunnen hone. The older manual machines are just as handy and useful as they have ever been. 

     You might even figure out that you can earn some extra income from your efforts. I’ll bet that you have friends who would pay you for your skills and services. In today’s economy a few extra Bucko’s could help fill your wallet. I started boring cycle cylinders for local dealers at $4.00 per hole. Years later and a lot of hard work has been very satisfying to me. In spite of all the Hype of plated cylinders and the Like, the sleeve business is alive and well. Just take a look at my Links page.
