Turner needed

I’m making 12 chests with ball (William & Mary) feet. That’s 48 feet that will need turning. I normally do my own turning, but also typically make one piece at a time which can take months. This is a whole ‘nother ball game for me. I can turn most anything but I’m very slow and deliberate. In short, I would really prefer to farm this job out.

I did not know where to start looking so I was hoping that maybe the turners here could give me some ideas.

The photos of my chests show the type of feet I’m using. They are small: only 2” roughly high and a bit more wide. They are laminated to produce stripes when turned and I’ve done all the glue-ups already. I live in Lynchburg, VA and work in Albemarle, NC.
I’m in no big rush and could throw these in a few boxes and cover all shipping back. I’d like to know what folks might charge for this.

I imagine this would be an easy job for an accomplished turner, but did not know where to find help.
Thanks!

Bill,
Sounds like an opportunity to buy a tool!

No turning help here. I looked at Mr. Brown's website which is really interesting. He's been located in Camden Maine, Lynchburg Va, and now in Albemarle NC.

" I live in Lynchburg, VA and work in Albemarle, NC."

Thanks Bob. I'll give him a call.
Jeff, actually I've been in the Lynchburg area (Forest, VA) for about 12 years now. I work in Albemarle, NC. We have a place in Maine that we rent out. We try to get to Camden when we can. I have a small shop in progress there and hope to spend more time there after retirement, God willing.
