Trophy Bases required

[StevenB]

I need new bases for two trophies, and cannot find anything suitable in the catalogues.

Firstly a cup with a wooden base 136mm diameter, needs a new section adding, the same diameter, and approx 40mm deep. I can't find a local woodturner or I'd have it sorted - can anybody help?

Secondly, a delightful marble base, also needs a new piece adding. It is 105mm square, ideally the new piece would be 110mm, depth is 20mm. I don't expect to be able to match the 1970's bathroom suite green, so would accept pretty much any colour. Any help / advice would be welcomed.

how about adding a bakerlite base witha silver band.

Aint no Engraving bod but if you cant get it sorted try these thoughts.

 

For the round one try the Woodturing Magazine (Classified Ads)

For the Marble type try the Stonemasons that do Cemetary Headstones, they have offcuts and the machinery to cut to size. (Black Granite would go with the existing colour)

New type of Kitchen work surfaces offcuts may also be of use.

swatkins do a 153mm top diameter in bakelite @ £30 retail

nickleplated ring @ £35 retail

this will give you a little step out of around 8mm all round

send a screw up into wood with a washer

 

 

thinking outside the box on the other one

glenway do a black marble base 110mm x 110mm x 60mm deep

you could lose the existing toilet green bases all together

ping off all the old plates and fit them all to the new base

by the way, can you ask your customer if that cup has ever been down south.

 

that multitude of engraving techniques look very, very familiar
