Give up on Galen. If he is still in business he is doing a piss poor job of it.

Neigh.Jacinda ?
So again no physical proof.I guess you'll just have to trust my intuition and the FABO mods that agreed with my post.
Was he an asset to the hobby 20+ years ago, certainly, but in the past 15 he should have been charged with fraud, theft of property held in trust, attempted extortion and most likely under US law mail fraud.
2nd paragraph? I have plenty...So again no physical proof.
Those who defend him even after all the messages posted should maybe point out to Galen that he could improve his 'service' in many areas.So again no physical proof.
I'm looking to get one like that. The link does not work.Joke tags are better anyway. Try this guy. He'll make authentic decoded reproduction tags or joke tags.
I had him do one of each, nice guy. http://www.datatags.com/

Do you have a link to the thread on FABO. Would love to read it.I enjoyed that. He got a whippin' and just faded away.
I think he's shut down these days. AJ Backeast. Google him.I'm looking to get one like that. The link does not work.

I know what you mean. Too bad somebody could learn what Galen knows. I've lost 2 machinists who were brilliant but didn't have the time or will to pass on that knowledge. Then it's gone. One even told me he couldn't find the alloy he wanted so he mixed his own. Knowledge like that don't come out of a book.I wouldn't call how he operates now, a business, per se. We all get old and weary. And once the money for a job is spent, one loses motivation for even foreplay.
To often I've seen companies run machinists & highly skilled techs into the ground because they have jobs that need to get completed... Not realizing they should find someone capable of and enthusiastic about absorbing some of the skills & knowledge... Skilled senior machinists & technical people don't have time to pass on knowledge because they are often so loaded with work that needs to get out the door today & they lack the energy to put in more hours trying to teach someone who isn't smart enough to appreciate the gift of a technical education... In the modern world everyone wants a college degree & an IT job... Tech skills are severely under appreciated... As those skills become more rare things may change but once the skills are lost it's gonna be tough to get them back...I know what you mean. Too bad somebody could learn what Galen knows.
