Davis Technologies is a Machine Shop out of Southern California (13200 Kirkham Way #114, Poway, CA... to be exact). I know embarassing little about their operations, setup, capabilities, pricing structure and all that. I know they just moved their company into a huge new facility. And that it is all the brainchild of Charles Davis, a good friend of mine.

Charles and I used to work together (well, roughly together) at Point Control, Co. in Eugene, Oregon (now a splinter off of the CAMAX block of companies). I wrote software, and he knew about machines and machinists.

Keeping in touch over the years, Charles came to know about Boris and wanted to help. Well, I designed Boris to be easy to make with a chop-saw, drill press, and welding kit (the only tools I have)... but there are a few brackets, flanges, and whatnot that could benefit from a machinist's touch. And Charles built them for me. That's friendship.... dedicating time and materials from his busy shop to build the tendons, the connecting tissue as it were, of Boris's articulated legs.

Thanks Charles.
