Default Re: We live in truly amazing times!

I am going to look into both sides of this:

1. Having the original handle scanned, to make to create a 3D electronic file. Then the cost of having it 3D printed, with a metal (not sure what is actually available for the printers) stronger than pot metal.

2. The cost of casting a new one (with a better metal), using the original, for the mold.

3. Once the 3D electronic file is created, I could even have one cut (water jet) from a billet of aluminum.

Bottom line, is there are a few options available, just a matter of cost.
