Bronze over riders! I imagine they would be expensive. I mentioned copper to the plater guy and he didn't seem keen, would leave hollows when polished, I think maybe he's quite a perfectionist, thankfully I'm not. Powder coating was suggested as possibly better. I considered knocking some up in stainless, but this would mean a tedious amount of filing, sanding, polishing, maybe I should try making one at a time.
There are very few platers left, I've found one locally, only because I rent my unit from him, pretty much anonymous otherwise. A couple of decades ago I'd have been spoilt for choice.
