Hello Woodworking Community,
I need to get small pieces lathed.
Solid cylinder 15mm dia x 30mm length with recessed end 9mm dia x 5mm deep. Also, a cone shape with the same dimensions and recess.
I think i would want 200 units or more.
See my technical drawings attached for more details.
I have no idea who would do this or if it would be viable. Any ideas anyone?
I am in Melbourne so something local would be best. I am also interested in using reclaimed wood, bamboo or something else sustainable.
I would appreciate any advice, Thankyou

I'm nosey as well

I was going to say I'll better whatever deal you get from ... but you'd have to accept 200 different shapes and profiles but I could quite possibly make them all out of the same timber, maybe :rolleyes:
