HELP! Now looking for a Light Engineering Company anywhere in Phuket!

[Tapster]

Hi

There must be someone who has used a company like this?

I need to make this (please see image).

Please can anyone recommend a place where I might get this done. I live in Chalong.

I'm sure I've driven past places that can do this but they all look dark and mysterious, except for the occasional flash of a welder!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best Wanamakok.. Good work!

[Tapster]

Thank you.

They might be a little high-end for my job but I'll keep them in mind.

Don't know the name of this shop but he has done some work for me,

successfully.

Drive past with Bangkok hospital on your right after the next set of lights

on your left approx 75-100 mtr, opposite a chicken rice shop, there is a

light engineering workshop. Just a few metres further on the same side

another, which I have not used but has what appears to be milling and

turning (steel) lathes.

Hope this helps.

Any welding shop with angle iron, a grinder and drill, could fab that for you.

Think at least a good metal lathe would be essential.

I'm not quite sure about your directions as I'm new here:

I've attached a Google Earth photo showing the area around the Bangkok Hospital.

Please will you direct me with reference to that.

Cheers

Looks like a job for a milling machine if you want it made accurately

[Tapster]

Indeed!

Do you know where I could get this done in Phuket?

[LivinginKata]

My advice would be look for a machine shop near a marina or boat yard. I remember years ago there used to be a precision machine shop in Chalong on the way to the round about (Chaofa East) before and about 200 - 400m before the police station, opposite side (left side). I remeber years ago this place being recommended on this board for precision machining. Can't say if it's there now. Maybe a board member in that area can comment.

Tapster I am sorry I am useless as far as computers and have no idea how

to send you the info you want although I have located the workshop on

google maps I don't know how to relay this to you, but I have picked up their

phone numbers off their shop front so maybe you could find a Thai freind to

phone and get the location??

The phone numbers are 076 222700 and 019788417 and the approximate

address is Tambon Talat Yai, Amphoe Mueang Phuket, Chang Wat Phuket

83000, Thailand.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Talat+Yai,+Mueang+Phuket+District/@7.902193,98.378983,3a,75y,308.28h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1smByB2HDISquO8DsQjla_lg!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x305031f7674bae1f:0x40223bc2c3823f0

Hopefully this will come out.

Think I have pegged it this time tapster, literally.

@LivinginKata

Many thanks. I like the sound of precision engineering!!

I'll check them out.

[Tapster]

@phuketjock

Jock, you are far from useless at computers!!

You have done everything other than take me there by the hand!! I'm very grateful.

As to your last bit of help, I can only say, "You nailed it, mate!".

I'll certainly take a look at these guys.

Cheers.

I had a look for that place yesterday. Sorry looks like they are gone, looks like that site has bee developed into arowof shop houses.

I suspect the one I mentioned a few metres up from this one may fit the bill better for

the job you need doing, but as i have not used that particular shop I cannot be certain

but best of luck with either one Tapster.

Cheers pj.

[Tapster]

OK, gents!

Check this out!!

Grateful thanks and here's the place and the successful completion of the project:

7.828616,98.343724 are the GPS coordinates of this workshop. It's in Chalong, just further up the right side than you said, LivinginKata. Thanks, mate!!

@Jock. This place in Chalong is less than 10 minutes from me. I'm sure your suggestion would have worked equally well but it was a lot further away.

Not a bad job, I reckon.

930THB for a one-off, 'totally does the job with no important compromises, and will last the lifetime of the guitar' part.

It's a tremolo stop for my electric guitar to stop the tremolo being pulled upwards. It keeps the guitar in tune better than without it, it adds sustain and just makes the whole bridge mechanism more stable.

I bought this guitar on Chao Far Road East and it's really needed this modification for weeks. Now I can play it again with more control and consistency!

Yay!

Thanks a lot for your help.
