It's sad where we're headed. I needed new piston rods for my AC WD45 lift cylinders. I disassembled and cleaned the cylinders and took them to my machinist friend last winter. I neither requested nor expected a quote. He didn't offer one. When he finished and I went to get them, he acted almost ashamed and embarrassed to show me the bill. The new material was a few thousandths different than OEM. he had to re work the bushings in the cylinder housings. Plus, I had him make some travel-limiting-spacers for them. After I paid him the $400 and some, I asked what it would have been had he charged me for all his time at his regular rate. I think it was closer to $600. The money wasn't an issue for either of us. He is the best machinist I have ever known. He can make anything. When I first got to know him I took a shaft that was just rebuilt and was still leaking oil. When he got about three feet from the back of the truck he saw it and winced! He could tell that quickly what was wrong.
