I do blacksmithing as well as machining. I am also getting in to doing some ceramics in my shop. Email me if you are interested in what I can do for you. Some of the products I make with my shop are door handles and pulls made from railroad spikes. MBrown@PrismFab.com
I have a small part time shop with a prototrack that can make these with no problem. I have some scrap aluminum that I use for soft jaws (not sure what alloy) if you are looking for the cheapest aluminum. If you would like me to bid the job, send me an email at MBrown@PrismFab.com.
