Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone knows a firm that will machine parts for custom pen designs at a reasonable price. I'd like to put together some designs in sketchup or a similar design program, but I have no idea where I might take them to get them manufactured on a smaller scale at a reasonable price. I'm aware of Michael's work at www.silverpenparts.com. He does great stuff and will work with you to manufacture custom parts. But silver is expensive. I'm hoping to find someone who can machine in a cheaper metal and perhaps plate with rhodium, gold, or something similar. Ideally, this would be someone in the U.S. Even better if they are in the mid-Atlantic region.
