About Us
Mechanical Design and Drafting Expertise
With 35 years of experience in Mechanical and Process Engineering internationally, I can help with your immediate mechanical design and drafting needs, whether for single drawings or larger projects.
With very reasonable hourly rates, I can help with even the simplest project very inexpensively and I am able to work from solid models and / or 2D drawings whether electronic or legacy hard copy. Let me convert your legacy drawings to electronic format and fix those interference issues that have been hounding you forever!
I am happy to execute an NDA when desired, to offer a high level of protection of your intellectual property, and in all projects the customer owns any drawings I produce - which means you will have full access to them, and there is never additional cost to retrieve any information developed jointly once a project is completed.
Let me help with your documentation. Do you have parts, weldments or assemblies and no records of the manufacturing process? I can properly record and document all the details using engineering drawings and process notes and work instructions as needed; my design for manufacture experience can help adjust and improve designs and process sequences to reduce manufacturing times and costs.
No drawing system? No problem! I can store drawings for you on a cloud based server for you to access any time and maintain the files for a very low monthly rate, and manage change control as needed. If you don't have a company drawing border I will gladly create one for you.
No drafting project is too small! Prices reflect the project and I offer fixed project pricing when required.

Project Example - Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber Weldment
An example of a retrofit welded chamber for a client. The project included modelling the chamber based on the client verbal description, and creating a full set of drawings of the chamber, the manufacturing process and the piece parts required for the build.
Project Example - Test Needles for a One Off Specially Tuned Motorcycle Carburetor
This project involved measuring and reverse engineering some precision components, and then generating new designs around the customer specification. Part size was approximately .110" diameter and 3.25" long, with 4 different tapering sections.
Jigs and Tools
Jigs and fixtures can be designed around your own concept, or I can produce a concept for you.
Drawings can be on your own borders and title blocks, and if needed we can create custom borders for you!
Prototype Parts
I can help with designs for short run and prototyping also.
With an extensive network I can help direct you to a manufacturing partner for prototyping or for production runs.
