My father, years ago, contacted a local funeral shop (tombstones, sculpting, metal work, etc) for a simple job: casting the but of a French pistol.Thank you, I would love to talk with you about it!
I assumed cnc setup costs would be more expensive than casting and wouldn't be financially sensible unless I was doing a large run, which I wasn't planning on since I didn't think there would be hardly anyone who would want "Deckard's door handle" hahaha.
I'll be contacting some local foundries to see if there are any options.
