Greetings,
Yes it's me again! I still make parts to pattern.......Hammer
butts,knuckles, whole assemblies or just bits of assemblies, in traditional
materials, machine finished and accurate to 0.004"which is the same as
0.1mm. i.e. exact replicas of what you can't get any more, but now you can!
Warm regards
Tony Court BSc(Hons) NAMIR
