    Are you only going to cast it once? Is it the only part you're ever going to cast? Is it a complex cast that can't realistically be done with a sand mold? If you answered no to all of these you might consider building your own foundry..There was a thread on here a couple months ago about just that. I'm stoked to try it myself and will put the inexpensive and easy to find pieces together once I've got my house with the garage. Good luck.

    Is machining out of the question?

    i can cast in aluminum and bronze via lost wax, great for finish and detail, if you need it, man. i've been slammed lately, but am starting to get my head above water (hired two part-time employees! that helps...). get ahold of me if you like, man.
