These beautiful parts were water jet cut by the guys at Versatile Supply in Bingen Washington. http://www.vsisurplus.com/ ( see active link on the list at right) They have a brand new "state of the art" water-jet cutter that generates 87,000,000 PSI ! The machine introduces small rubies into the stream while it controls X &Y to within a thousands of an inch and it has a curf thickness of about a human hair. This amazing machine will cut through 8 in. plate steel. They are a family business and I would recommend them to my mama.
Monday I will deliver the parts to Schooner Creek Boat Works http://www.schoonercreek.com/ ( see active link on the list at right) where they will serve as inserts that will be placed in engine bed molds to produce two SD20 Yanmar Sail Drive Units engine beds.

so, given that we have the same mama, what sort of metal cutting do you envision our mama to be doing that this fine shop might lend her a hand? i confess that i wasn't aware she had any need to cut 8" plate steel!
