Steve, mine are 8'' X 16'', no deadlights. First I had to make a
hardwood model, then the casters in Hungary made an aluminum version of
it (more durable than wooden one in case one wants to cast more than
one or two) and using simple sand form cast 12 pieces. They were very
rough and with my basic tools (angle grinder and 12'' disc sander) in
took nearly a day to finish just one. Having Dremel would speed things
up. In general terms, finding stuff in chandlers' catalogues very
expensive I try to make my own wherever possible. Recently I made all
light fixtures, both ceiling and bulkhead ones, employing LEDs and
halogen bulbs. They are mainly from wood, since I have all necessary
woodworking tools and abilities. Przem
