How many Manhattan, NY builders do we have?

Hey guys. I live in NYC and i was just curious as to how many builders we have in the City and in New York in general. Just in case one of us needs something, or just wants to get together.
Anyhow if you are from NYC just let me know. Thanks

Gabe

The RodMaker subscriber list shows exactly 120 rod builders who list one of the following as their address:

New York City
The Bronx
Staten Island

It's doubtful that more than a handful would be found on any forum, however.

Hi Gabe.......I grew up in Queens and currently live in Yonkers. I work in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. I build for friends and family....certainly no pro.

I often order from Mudhole....those folks are very helpful, but when I want to get hands-on I drive out to Donart in Freeport. Where do you get your materials?

There are a few builders who have attended North East Rodbuilders gatherings from Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens, not so many from Manhattan, I don't think there's enough space for people to set up wrapping stations.
