Title: custom molds
Post by: stephensharpe on 10/21/14 13:20 UTC: Is it possible to order custom molds such as only 3/4 ounce football head as opposed to the 1/2 - 3/4- 1 ounce?

Don't expect a $30 mold though. I would suspect it to cost at least $150 or more.

I won't mention any names but I think most people know who I'm talking about. His molds are awesome but trying to talk to him is out of the question.

The guy I'm talking about is out of Smitfield Va I believe. I sent him a question earlier this week and he responded right away. Maybe we're talking about two different people.

Yup. That's the guy. Maybe he doesn't want my money??

His work is great....

Post by: Kasilofchrisn on 10/22/14 04:02 UTC: I own over 15 of Shawns molds.
Some from Ebay and some not.
He always responds to my emails within 3-4 days. Never have had any trouble with Shawn.
Don't know what other people's troubles are with contacting him?
His molds are world class for sure.
He is working on another mold for me right now. He has to test cut the smallest size I want.
Another good option is Bob Lalonde of CNC molds n stuff.
Good work and a great person to deal with.
I currently own 2 of Bobs CNC molds and they are also very nice.
He is also working on cutting some of Do-It's blank molds for people to save them a few $$ in CNC machine time cutting hinges etc.
Might be another option to persue.
