ahh, the Amish, of corse..raise a barn, cast a straight edge, plow a field, no utility hookup required!

There is a foundry in Maine too one of my clients just found.

of corse if it were stainless, and precision cast, I would contact Pine Tree Castings in NH, do they still take contract work?

Hi folks, I am trying to find the thread in which a camelback straight edge pattern that has been 3D printed is pictured and discussed.

seems I remember It was not too long ago, this spring perhaps, and I think it was yellow if i remember correctly.

also looking for who still casts iron in the USA.

thank you in advance,cheers!

Off the general line here, but didja notice the thin-section work they do for Iron cover doors for chimney clean-out?

Pattern Shop

That's the sort of specialized skill as would be needed to replicate the covers and doors on rather a lot of Machine Tools that have had theirs go cracked or outright missing.

Pulling a mould from a survivor needs shrink-compensated, but that isn't complex on a part that is mostly flat and has few features beyond some edge-curvature and such.

People at the museum were pretty happy with them, Their pattern shop is good, and their castings are decent. I do not know pricing. Paolo can fill in more details.
