    I'm sure if you bought me a Titanium cutting bit for a mill, and the
    Titanium, I could machine some at school. But I doubt you would trust
    my skill level, so that is out of the question, plus I wouldn't do it
    for free.

    The fact that you think you need a special "titanium cutting bit" for
    the mill indicates that you do not, in fact, have the expertise to make
    a set of bearings holders. Unless you have a cnc mill, bearing holders
    are actually a reasonably difficult (but well within the reach of any
    accomplished machinist) project.

    I know about 30 people with the tools and expertise to do the job, but
    they wouldn't do it as a favor, so you shell out big cash ($100+ per
    hour), plus they would probably walk away from any job that small where
    the customer does things like beg.

    Make a few sketches and go find a local machine shop. It's really not
    that hard. If I go back to my last summer job during winter break, I
    seriously could make you a set, but as I said, I'm charging shop rate,
    since that's a serious project.

    I could theoretically make you a set at my home shop, except that it's
    3,000 miles away, and honestly, bearing holders are a kind lame project
    to start with, so I don't see any reason to in the first place.
