I think that instead of people who want recut rolls going to each site
that it would be much more efficient to have one site which presented
all of the recuts available.  There could also be a "wish list" for
specific rolls that were wanted.  The recutter could then decide which
rolls to recut at what break point or offer the roll to those that wanted
a specific roll at an increased price to meet the break even point.

Each roll recutter could also have a list of proposed new recuts for
people to sign up for prior to recutting.

My offer still stands if there is enough interest in this project.
It will be time consuming to set up but I am willing to do it if there
is enough interest out there among the active recutters!
