I have 50 years experience in machining and welding. I had a CNC job shop in Nebr. I'm retired. My machines are new with digital positioning control, that means work gets done somewhat faster and more precise. The work I'm looking for is table top projects or about the size of a LP grill. I have had my fill of big stuff. Most patio umbralles can be fixed for 20.00 dollars plus materials. I can weld aluminum and stainless. I can help you with design on ideas at the 30 dollars an hour rate. Bob my cell# 308 293 0079
