Hey Guys,
Thanks so much for your "professional" expertise. Truth be said, I found a mold maker who will duplicate the Do-it wobble mold for me for about $70.00. thanks for the design Do-IT. Tight lines
WOW that is cheap for a custom mold. Hopefully he knows what he is doing and makes a mold that works properly.
Don't loose his phone number.
I'm guessing it isn't a hinged mold but a two piece mold?
The professional mold makers I know have refused to make me a copy of another mold makers stuff. I wanted an exact copy of a Lil Mac mold but in sizes they didn't make and the one mold maker flat out refused. Though he did offer to make a modified version.
I found another mold maker who already had the CAD work done for a very close though distinctly different jig. So that's what I got.
I hope the jig works out for you as planned and you don't get into any legal snafus if you decide to sell a few of those jigs.

I'm not claiming to be a "professional".
But I did go out last night and count some molds on my shelf. There are roughly 105 lead molds there.
Of those molds exactly 20 of them are CNC machined custom molds from the best lead mold cutters in the country.
Upon further checking I find the cheapest one cost me $130 and the most expensive was $300.
So the info I posted earlier in this thread is purely based on personal experience having custom molds cut for me.
Sorry if I ruffled you feathers Rhody Joe.

This would be the one thing I would be concerned about... (but if they are for your use only, you should be fine.)
