Happy to be a part of this community. Have some experience working with small/large foundries on lost-wax aluminum castings and a large titanium investment casting. And of course making lead army men as a kid Most recently I am working on a fence restoration project that needs me to procure 36 cast iron spears; no longer commercially procurable due to DMSMS, COVID and China. If anyone is interested in getting paid for a small sand-casting project, let me know and I can provide more info. I do have a sample spear for making the mold. I probably need to post this in a "classified" thread
