UK Based Metal Worker??
« on: April 20, 2005, 06:45:21 pm »
Hi again,

I am looking for someone in the UK to do a tiny amount of metal work for me, basically just making a small metal plate with my design on it.. I have done a few searches on Google but have only found companies who deal with orders of thousands rather than one-offs!!

Does anyone know of anybody who could do this for me?

Thanks

Try www.yell.com and type in metal work.

I worked in an industry that did a lot of metal pressings and unfortunatley bespoke parts or one offs can be quite expensive. If the part is just cut out of thin metal then the best and probably cheapest option will be laser cutting. Pretty much any shape or design can be done and my advice would be to shop around for pricing as one off jobs can vary by vast amounts dependant on a companies workload.
