Restoration Project

Hello,

I am restoring a brass candelabra. I need to have one small brass bowl replicated (turned). I am hoping an experienced lathe operator could be able to do this in a few hours. I would appreciate if anyone who has the ability to do this would reply. Or if you can put me in touch with someone who can do this job I would be grateful.

I am attaching images of an existing bowl that I need replicated.

I have gotten several responses from "prototyping" companies, but they all want engineering drawings to set up CAD, CAM operations and prices start at about $375 just for set up. I am hoping to get this done for $125-150.

Are my expectations unreasonable?

I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks,

Rich

Bob,

Thank you very much. I did find someone to do the job. It's finished and will be mailed back to me tomorrow. It cost $150.
