Anyone know a source for 13 solid brass military type port holes?
US Navy surplus would be ideal. 16-22 inch with D solid covers, opening
armored glass type.

Good luck. I have 2 and they're not for sale. My father 'acquired' them
sometime after WW2. Too big to put in anything I'll ever build but they
make great doorstops.


They also make great frames for small pictures & mirrors.
Hard to break a mirror that's framed in more metal than '54
Buick.


FWIW a local foundry casts smaller ones and the castings alone cost
$500 AUD. Even in USD it's still a lotta money.


I bet they're making a mint if they also do industrial
casting. There's a new business around here that is
basically a bunch of old foundrymen, refinanced & relocated
near the highway. They're turning away orders and looking to
train new men.




BTW, the phrase 'silk purse - sow's ear' comes to mind when I picture
your boat with the bronze ports :-)


Not to mention the electrolysis... maybe he could run leads
to his battery charger...
