    i need information on a reliable, repeatable method of forming pair-
    case and consular pocket watch cases. this style was used prior to
    about 1800. the shape is basically like a cooking wok.. a shallow
    pan form. ive looked i to spinning and the bonny doon system from
    rio grand.. and im not thrilled with either.  traditionally they
    were doe with a large set of forming punches and matching dies. and
    when a case maker was in business for 150 years  they accumulated
    quite a collection.. however i dont have that luxury to draw from. 

    has anyone made a similar from? can i get some made?also does anyone
    do small lost wax quantity casting? i can send pix of course . thanx
