I spent many years working in foundry practice and some of the statements that you've been making don't add up. For example, in one of your posts, a fellow asked, and you made the statement that you use the same mold to make an iron casting as you do an aluminum casting, as in an iron head and then an aluminum version of the same head. Well if that's what you do, the parts will not come out the same size and the only one that will be the correct size is the one whose pattern was made for the particular metal being poured, because the shrinkage rate, per foot, is greater for aluminum than it is for iron.
Also, anybody can attempt to copy. Instead of attempting to copy everyone else's work, why can't you come up with your own design and do your own work?

I'll ignore the impugning of my honesty, integrity, and expertise and just say that if you don't want one of the heads then don't buy one. And let me add that it is unwise and arrogant to project your ignorance and inability onto others. They just may have more to bring to the table than you.
And, I'll make what I want to make, and what people ask me to make, as if it is any of your concern.
Tod
