Looking for someone like SKGrimes in Europe to machine a speed graphic lens board and make flange to mount a petzval c. 52mm .
Anyone know anyone please?

I've gotten lens board adapters done by Jorge Moreno

I would visit several machine shops in your area bring your lens along. Talk to the machinist on duty. If they are slow they may set up on the spot & have it finished by the end of the day.
The only trouble I have ran into is when the flange is over 100mm. Then the lathe clamps can be to small to hold the brass/aluminum . They usually have to make a rig to hold the material in the lathe. Then the price goes WAY up.
I think I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $400-$500 for a 200mm ish flange to fit my 21" J&D Petzval Cone lens . Man that hurt a bit.
The size your looking for should not be a problem.
52mm sounds very familiar. This is the most common flange size on smaller magic lantern petzvals. 4 of mine have this size. You may find it cheaper to search the bay for damaged magic lantern lenses with flanges or check the frequent lister of lost flanges there.
