Have you tried getting machining sponsors? Parent sponsors? Parents lending tools for the team?

More info with help us help you!

I'll have to talk to our treasurer for budget but we are looking to compile a list of tools from highest priority to least. Last year we had a few parts machined by a parent sponsor who had a contract with a machine shop, but this year he won't be with us anymore. We have begun looking for machine shops in the area but last year we had at least one negative response from a shop. One of our members also said his dad may be able to lend us tools, but that member hasn't shown up for a while.

Right now I'm looking to compile a list, being as specific as possible, because we have someone who is looking to sponsor us that is asking for the list. I do not know how much he/she/they are willing to spend for any donated tools, so I want the list to be as comprehensive as possible.

Thanks!
