Hi Guys I have spoken to Andy and he has no problem if someone wants to go and get his extrusion made. His dies were destroyed only recently because the manufacturer of the extrusion called to collect the annual maintenance fee and Andy indicated he would not be buying any more. So no fee was collected and the dies went in the bin!
