I may have the possibility to retrieve an old elevator motor from a building. I have visited someones website lately, who will remain nameless, and saw that someone has found an excellent new life for old elevator motors..........to make into a device that will twist very long pieces of metal. This certain someone does not seem to want to help me. OKAY MAN. I got it. I have contacted them twice with no response.........greedy with their secrets, I guess. I figure I will put it out there for all of my Artmetal friends. I am sure once I retrieve this motor I can figure it with some help of some mechanical geniuses I know but I would love to hear any positive comments or helpful tips from anyone on this site, especially if they have seen this work before. Any help would be appreciated so I can anticipate my needs for this big project.

I am a full time student who is a metal freak. I want to one day be a metal object conservator. I am looking to find an internship or apprenticeship working for someone or some metal art fabrication company.....maybe a knife smith? I am up for anything.
