So I realized recently that just about every week someone is asking me how to set something up, where to find a specific part or how to fix a particular issue that they are working on. In fact a close friend of mine has asked me to spend a day with them on their next shop project so that they can streamline their production time and turn out a better product quicker. We agreed on a dollar figure and now we’re waiting for the project to show up.


This brought up an idea… What if I offered this service to anyone that was willing to fly me out and pay for my time? I could do anything from dialing in an existing shop’s finish-work to helping a do-it-yourselfer get some direction with their project. I am willing to go anywhere within reason, international is not out of the question either, but transportation fees would need to be covered by the customer as would sleeping accommodations. Pricing would be figured on a project to project basis depending on the number of days and type of work being consulted on. If this is something that you would be interested in send me an email or a PM and we’ll talk…

I have to say that that is an awesome idea for both the customer and max cause he would get to travel for free lol...the only problem that I could see if that most people probably don't have the same access to the tools that you have so you would be working under entirely different constraints...unless you got a box truck to create the first mobile bag and bodydrop shop lol...hmmm..

You guys would be surprised if you knew how few tools I really do have.

You've already helped me out more than you know with your 'Ask Max' forum.  You're going to have to stop giving out free advice
