The project is DEAD!

I finally got to see the engineer at Southern Comfort Conversions. Big
outfit, their facility here is a city block in size, all under one roof.

The engineer there took a look at what I wanted done - the laser
scanning of the pieces and digitizing of the numbers,, and the
conversion of the numbers into CNC code for milling of a mold.. He said
it could be done, but they couldn't do it because of current demands on
them by the market place. They had to much to do to tie up the manpwoer
and equipment on such a project. He elaborated, but the bottom line was NO!

With that said, I have exhausted all possibilities here. There might be
a place in Nashville, or Memphis, or Atlanta, but at this time I can't
devote the time or resources to trying to find someone in those locales
to take a look.

So, there it is, I'm done.

I want to thank Ryan Alfonso and Kim Brennan and Daniel Stern of Daniel
Stern Lighting  for their generosity - and patience - in the loan of the
parts that were to be used in this project. I will be returning the
parts to them this week.

And lastly, thanks to all you list members for your patience while I
sought out the possibilities of making this project viable. I just wish
I had something better to report.

Regards,
