Block machining cost, what is normal?
I am wondering what price I should be looking for for the full shebang. Bore/hone, decking, cleaning, magging, deburring, baking it, steel shot, and check all specs.
I will be gone for 5 days next friday for a trip to Belgium, if anyone has been, and knows some interesting things to see, PM me! Jake

For best work, and the whole shebang, figure right around $1,500.

Belgium
I've been to the beautiful city of Brugge in southern Belgium, it was a long time ago but I remember it was really nice...definately get some of the famous Belgian waffles, they sell them on the street like hotdogs; and go to an art museum to see some of the Flemish paintings--those are the ones with the super-realisic depictions of dead game and such. Pretty cool. Anyway, have fun...

Antwerp is beautiful, Dutch influenced and friendly.
Brussels is ok, French influenced and rude. |
