Machine shop

Can you send me a sketch or drawing with dimensions of what you want made?  I can get it for you from one of my suppliers.

Hi,

When I drive around HCMC I see many streets that specialise in certain products or services, for example,,, a street with many phone shops, picture framing shops, sewing shops, stainless steel items.

I wonder if there is such a street with many shops that make metal items, i'm looking for someone that can cut, bend and weld 10mm flat steel in to a frame I wish to be made, i've drawn a blank in my local area.

Any ideas? I'm in Phu Nhuan but have a bike so can get around HCMC.

Although I don't know it for a fact, there must be a street like that in Ho Chi Minh City.

I remember seeing a street like that in Hanoi

Unfortunately there is hundreds of the INOX Stainless steel shops but they dont do flat mild steel only stainless.

I'm after a fabrication/machine shop.

Is that the same as sheet metal work?  (If the question shows a total ignorance about the matter, it's because I am.) 

There's an advert in Yellow Pages for a company that does "sheet metal processing according to Dutch standards, including bending, welding, sheet metal stamping, laser cutting and punching of stainless steel, copper, aluminum, iron, ceramic ...Fiber CNC Laser Metal Cutting machine can cut sheet metal with thicknesses from 6mm to 25mm."

Hanoi has a street for everything because that's how it started out when the country was under the French, with the clearly defined Hà Nội 36 Phố Phường (Hanoi's 36 Streets of Trades) in and in the vicinity of Old Town.  About 20 of them are still more or less staying the same today.

Throughout history, Saigon has never conformed to anyone, any plan, any idea.

Hanoi has a street for everything because that's how it started out since the country was under the French, with the "36 streets of vocations" in (and in the vicinity of) Old Town.  Only 20+ of them are still more or less staying the same today.

Saigon has never conformed to anyone, any plan, any idea.

Yet without a master plan the Vietnamese of HCMC have still developed individual streets along similar lines.

Nguyễn Thiện Thuật in district 2 is well known internationally as "Guitar Street" and I recall a furniture street (mostly upholstered type) in district 7.

I don't recall where, but I've seen at least one shoe street in HCMC, and Lê Công Kiều within walking distance of Bến Thành market is definitely an antique street.

I agree that the area in the Hanoi old quarter is quite unique as a cluster of myriad "vocational streets".

However, in my travels around the country, it seems to be a Vietnamese cultural habit to group similar types of stores together.

I made a furniture purchase in Vũng Tàu by having my driver take me to the street with so many affordable wooden (un-upholsterd)
furniture shops.

I also recall a street there with many carved furniture shops, the impressive creations that go for a much higher price, I'm sure.

And anyone wanting to find a plethora of pharmacies need only look across the street from the nearest hospital.
