So I am trying to make some hand tools for another one of my hobbies, and I have been fabricating these things myself, but it takes me a long time, so I am looking to make 50 of them instead of 5, and be able to sell a few instead of just giving them to my freinds, SO, does anyone know anyone a person who may be interested doing some small-lot side-work with a small wood lathe, and or knows something about any companies that fabricate simple metal parts?

What I am looking to make is kinda like an awl, or a small fancy ice pick, I need someone to take the box of exotic wood scraps I have, and turn a bunch of 3.5" handles, then another person to sharpen about 50-100 rods (then I am going to thread them and assemble/finish them myself.)

I have never farmed this kinda stuff out, of course I don't have much of a budget either, but any advice would be very helpful, thank you!! :smt003
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
