Stainless fabrication in Hampshire area?

[Andy135]

Can anyone recommend a supplier to fabricate some stainless bow rails and a radar arch? Ideally in Hampshire area?

Try Stainless Steve, I think hes in Lymington.

Thanks Mick - I gave him a call and an email last week but so far I've not had any response. I understand that this is quite usual for him... not sure how I feel about that though.

Ive heard hes a bit slow to answer, but apparently his work is very good.

Yes, I've heard the same - high quality gear. Fingers crossed I'll hear back from him.

Move on mate, as I’ve explained before the guys a ghost. I don’t think he really exists.

Except when I'm not local. I don't fancy a 3 hour round trip just to find that he's not there. 😣

Guess the trouble is, the guy is old skool, and being very good at what he does, he will invariably be busy........

 

I would imagine that their are lots of fabricators around you that could do the job, just comes down to who you trust

Yes I expect so. I'll need a fabricator near the boat though, not near me, as I presume they'll want to get access to the boat to measure up before starting any fab.

Then you need someone in Pompey or Gosport. It’s over an hour to drive from Sway to Gosport. 

[suzook12]

There should be plenty of fabricators in and around Pompey, just from the Eastleigh days if nothing else
