A small cnc desktop machine would be ok to make masters moulds in silicone so you could cast your own letters / numbers. Been more than 20 years since I sold my precast concrete business and totally forgot about the wax letters until I read Robs post.

Hi Mike,

now that sounds great, {if they are cheap enough} although i was looking forward to having a play with a new toy{cnc} i can see that the wax option is a good one, can you recall how small in size you could go with your letters / numbers?
anyhow thanks Mike, i will google search for that company today. i have found metal reverse cast letters used by foundry's but they are to time consuming to set up.
