    hand made frame supplier

    I need to make a hand made frame for a patient in metal. The patient is willing to pay well for it, and is also willing to have engineering diagrams drawn up, and finishing specifications would be included. The job would not suit the average repair lab, but would suit a pre-production type workshop for a frame manufacurer

    Preferably in tha UK, but else a worldwide option would be OK

    any ideas?

    I know of some prototype makers in Italy that can make pre production frames one at a time. They are very good but can cost up to Euro 1000 per frame. Depending on complexity.

    I know that Gold & Wood will do custom designs; not sure if they will for a non-account, though.
