I would be more than casually interested in doing this as I am getting
into casting and pattern making. I would propose to cast rubber (RTV silicon
molds), wax patterns and probably cast a permanent pattern. I could then
return the master to the owner and loan or rent out the permanent patterns as
requested. If and when I get together all the equipment needed for
investment and fine sand casting I propose to cast wheels and other parts.
As I am retired I do not to make a lot of money but enough to cover my
expenses and add a little to my bank account. (well I need money to buy that
Aster Allegheny :-) and the C&S Mogul)
As many of you are aware I am planning a tour of the U.S. in this coming
year and so it would be the beginning of next year before I could get fully
engaged in this endevor.
