If you are building multiple parts and can pay for DIES to be made, thats one thing... IF you building 1-2 parts, its normally cheaper to sand cast the parts... I dont know the shops, but there use to be a variety or places that would make a plywood part, then use it to build a sand mold, then cast the aluminum... They might not be able to machine the parts afterward.. If your talking lathe and milling machine, a local machine shop might do that. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I don't know exactly what their capabilities are but there is a foundry here in Golden City MO. Google says the number is 417-537-4922. If that doesnt work I know the owners and can get you in touch with them. |

| Piece count will be 500 to start. And repeat orders probable. Got a price several years ago for offshore (China) tooling; it was more than $75000. |

Steve, thanks for the video. I used to do that back in high school. I burned a lot of fingers doing that. Hot steel is orange, but aluminum is always silver. I am a slow learner.
