I have a customer who wants me to make some Christmas ornaments in quantities of around 1000+ units. Each ornament would require five spindle turnings the smallest being about 5/16 "dia to 1/4" dia and about 2 inches long. I can cut these by hand with no problem, when I tried a duplicator all I got was fancy fire wood. Since I don't want to even think about turning all of them by hand, and the cost would be outasight, I contacted some commercial turning concerns and they turned me down. Size is two small for thier equipment. Also contacted WPMA and they told me "Good Luck" but had no one they knew of. Any one out there have any ideas.
