I'm no pattern maker, but I have a few nutty ideas rattling around in my head I would like to try. So I would like to know what you guys have read (I expect there are books on the subject).

How dificult is it to find a foundary that is willing to make one or two of a part? To the best of my knowledge there isn't a commercial foundary here (some hobbyists I'm sure, they seem to be everywhere, in small numbers).

Sorry I am of no help to you both, If I knew anything about it I'd tell ya.


My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155
