Model Engineering Works

Our workshop, Model Engineering Works, is at 3072/A, right near the Harish Chandra Ghat Circle. It’s tucked away in Sri Ram Puram, not far from the Ganesh Temple. If you hear the sound of lathes turning and hammers hitting metal, you’ve probably found us. We’ve been in this little corner for a long time, doing repairs and making small parts for whoever walks through the door. The shop is small and a bit dark, filled with tools that have been used for thirty years. There’s always a pot of tea sitting somewhere near a pile of metal shavings. We handle a lot of different jobs, from fixing a broken hinge to turning a custom bolt on the machine. It’s not high-tech stuff; it’s more about knowing how to make things fit together by hand. The neighborhood is tight, so we know most of the people who live around the 1st Cross. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside the temple for a bit until it comes back. We don't have a catalog or a fancy office. You just bring your broken part, we take a look at it, and tell you if we can fix it by tomorrow. It’s a simple life, keeping the machines running in this part of town. We don't worry about being the biggest shop, we just focus on the piece of metal right in front of us.
