I don't think he is a scammer either guys, just got in a knot with me when I thought he had built the first two awesome hosts I received from him because he did not disclose he was only a middle man for those, not the machinist, then commissioning another set of hosts from him based on that misconception, which he was happy to keep going, I assume, to keep people from finding out who was really making them due to the profits he could make. I don't blame him for that, but still wasn't happy to learn it, my level of trust for fronting the money was based on his machinist skill set, I thought.
Only things which bothered me about the deal was having paid 800 dollars forward for materials which were not purchased, and then when after three months and nothing was made, and only a 20 amp switch was ordered on his end towards the project, I decided to cancel, but the money was fully spent already. He didn't save the money for the project because his markup was so high, the second payment would have covered having them built. This is simply a mistake a young man would make who just started getting some money for the first time in his life, probably. If he gets through this and continues building custom hosts for people, I am sure he will never make that mistake again and only spend the money earned as profit AFTER completion, not before. Either that or have enough in savings it is moot.
