Hi hedd,
I'd love to know of other foundrys.
tony.7ca@aol.co.uk
The last foundry was charging £32 per casting, it's quite a heavy casting before machined. I felt that was a good price, for the amount of material used.
I don't want to stop doing the drums, it always feels good to sell things that really work.
But I do have to keep an eye on what people will realistically pay.
Thanks Tony.
Hi reckers again I'd love to know the outcome of this.
I always sell them fully machined.
The only problem I have with overseas companies, Is quality. And usually there is NO returns policy. Which to me means why bother doing the job right, cos they ain't coming back.
I had a simular thing 5 years ago, with cranks. £200 each from India. But if there's a problem with them, you can't return them. A lot of money straight in the bin.
So I never took them up.
Tony.
