Message	I've been looking into several options that are far less dangerous and will yield parts much quicker. Hydroforming is a good solution and I'm also strongly considering to have dies machined to hydraulically press these parts from sheet aluminum. Casting is cool when you first start doing it but it loses that appeal once you've figured it out. I'd like to learn more about other processes that would be better suited to manufacturing these parts...... Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving. Are you an enthusiast?
