Putting it here separate from my other hub sale...I don't think there is a big demand so hopefully those in need will see it. I was asked by a member to help with casting the hub after exhausted dead ends. I reached out to members here on the forum...all very helpful. I was finally able to reach Rick Hill. He has generously lent me a pattern to make a mold and cast. Since the pattern is already coated with polyurethane...I do not feel comfortable priming and adjusting for shrinkage like I typically do with other pieces I have cast in the past for fear of damaging the pattern. If you are interested, please post here. I am doing this at cost as this thing is hub is HUGE! I own many fans...none of my fan hubs compare to this monstrosity.

The pattern is actually aluminum with heavy coats of polyurethane paint. The pattern I did at first was resin and body filler made using a Roger Heitzman schematic drawing. I used the resin pattern to cast the aluminum pattern upon which I could make the last fine adjustments.

I would add the pattern is very excellent! Rick Hill wrote: The pattern is actually aluminum with heavy coats of polyurethane paint.
