Hello everyone, my name is Keith. I operate a small machine shop in Columbus where I do some work on Harley Davidson Motorcycles. I have been machining for 30+ years and operated my own shop for 15+. I have made everything from brass paintball fittings to professional race car fasteners. Recently i started to bore out Harley cylinders with custom designs etched in the fins such as spades, diamonds...ect. I am here for knowlege and maybe i can help with some special machining needs!
