I am sure many of you like me are confined to their home and more interestingly the work-shop! I was very disappointed that the lock-down came into force before I ordered castings to continue a 7.25" Highlander! However I dropped an email to Owl Castings on the off chance to see what they had on the shelf! To my surprise the owners work form a home work-shop and are neighbour's so they are still making castings and CAD modelling patterns.

Now following ordering, on Wednesday yesterday the courier brought me a box load of castings in bronze 8 of which were shelf items and far cheaper than other suppliers offering the same castings. They have many castings ready to go, so if you are wanting to get into the workshop check them out. http://www.owlcastings.co.uk

Stay safe and lock yourself in the workshop!
