Painter1 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Where could a guy get a custom jig mold made? This would be for pouring a modified lead-head Arkie type jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Lots of machine shops can do the job. You can get a blank from Do It. But hang on to your wallet. The last idea I had the shop wanted $450 to do the work. So I passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 If a single cavity mold can suit your needs, I've gotten my money's worth(under $100) from my High Tech jig mold. http://www.hitechluremolds.com/ Altho the website claims the finished mold is CNC machined, mine was cast in brass blocks mounted on pliers. This surprised me as the exact copy of my ruff model had some flaws which were reproduced. Still, the castings are one of my favorite 1/4 oz. heads for personal use. High Tech owner Ron Hammontree is a nice enuf guy, but may be limited by the quality(or lack) of your prototype model. Of course, there is a well known and discussed master jig mold maker whom I would never recommend to anyone after my 2 year wait experience.

dannyp Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Having done business with both, I cant say bad things about either one... I went with Mr. Hammontree on my last one because he is local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
