walleyejoe - 4/28/2022 9:52 PM Does anyone know anything about fabricating hardware? I'm thinking about brass lips, blades and maybe some other parts. What sort of investment am I looking at? A press and dies, I would think. I have no idea what exactly I would need, or cost. Any help is appreciated. Tim You can do a lot with basic hand tools depending on quantity. a tin snip set, file and a vise can make you anything at low volume (individual use) if wanting to go all in, a cad program, laser cutter, punch presses etc. There is a great tool called an iron worker that can handle a bunch of stuff, but not cheap. here is a large flap tail blade i made with just the above hand tools. Hand drawn, cut out with snips, files and hand hammered. One of a kind. Edited by RJ_692 4/29/2022 7:41 AM Attachments ----------------  flap blade 1 (Copy).jpg (50KB - 112 downloads) | |||
