Seeking BVI metalwork recommendations

I've decided to have some work done on the boat while it is on the hard instead of waiting to have it done in St. Martin on my next visit.

I'd like to get the metal pole for a wind generator installed as well as the frame for a dodger manufactured. Does anyone have specific recommendations speaking for a company or person?

Can heartily recommend Tony at the T&W Machine Shop located near Fort Purcell in Road Town. Tony's a Brit who does excellent work at a very reasonable price. I assume he's still in business, but don't know for sure.

There are several others on the island, but IMHO they're very expensive.

I seriously doubt that they have email. It's a no-nonsense metalworking shop.
