Afternoon everyone,

I just bought a new CNC machine and will be looking to make some parts and wanted to ask the group if there was anything specific "we" might like to see?  For instance I know people have needed to source fair leads, station base and myself I need new locker latches as most of mine have broken.

I can work on making some sets of items and determine some pricing if there was a list of things our boats need.

I can manage keeping track of the items and perhaps even a priority list of the demand is there.

Talk to you all soon,

Owen

Wow that is a great offer Owen!

 

I would be interested in some replacement J/46 stanchion bases.  I do not have the specs but others may.

 

Thank you!

Bernie

Hi - If you can shoot me a photo so I can confirm they are the same as my 44.

They would be one piece verses the casted version - but I'll generate a model for people to see before we make them.

Here you go Owen.  I zoomed in and cropped it for you.  The base is round – it just appears a bit like an oval because of the zoom.

 

J/46 stanchion base.

 

 

Thx

Wow, 

I'm in.   I just don't know what I am going to need yet.  my gut is about everything.   I'll stay tuned and see what others.    On stanchion bases, hull #6 has the cast seagulls.  Pic attached.

Great offer Owen. Thanks!

I’m with Dennis, to paraphrase: I definitely need CNC’d parts, I’m just not yet sure what those are. :-)   What materials can you work in?

Bernie, As for stanchion bases, you might check Garhauer, if you haven’t already. I can buy stanchions from them for my J/42, but I’m not sure if they supplied the bases.

Hi Ed,

As I get set up I'd like to stay primarily in Aluminum to be kind to the machine.

I would plan to hard anodize parts.

As we figure out a product path we can evaluate.
