This was/is an interesting project…kudos to you for taking it on and seeing it through.
Buddy of mine has a small foundry here in town( aluminum/bronze, no CI ) and I help him out every so often. Been a real learning experience with casting and all that’s involved, from idea to breaking a piece out.
Patterns can cost a fortune, and what pattern makers can do with wood, plastic, steel, and various other materials is impressive. 3D printers make cool things as well.
I’ve got a few things I’m going to try and mold/cast myself, should be interesting my pattern making ability.
