    Cast Bronze Plaques

    Cast Bronze Plaques

    The same folks that own SSC own MST Bronze. :) Myros is a great guy, and was behind Metalcraft magazine back in the early 2000’s, if anyone remembers that. They do sand casting, as well as ceramic shell. Maybe other stuff?

    I'll send that one to a friend and former co-worker, she moved to Prince Edward County to help run her Dad's wood shop. I think her metal shop in there is about 15' x 15', maybe if she put it diagonally...?

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    Yes, that's where I'm at with trying to get my lathe running. Should have started at the beginning. Or maybe just a general 'What Stuart did' thread? I certainly take photos at work and think 'I should post that, somebody might find it useful', and then... time passes.
