used to make low production art pieces inany studio.
I think some power tool parts are made this way too
Looks like solid metal
materials available thru marine supplies,composit houses,
art suplies catalogues
1) glue pieces together or carve your own origional
2) make a mold of 2 part silicone or alginate
3) fill mold w/ a mixture of epoxy +powdered metal
usually hard enough to be drilled and tapped,some claim
it to be 95%metal,by weight. seems pretty hard but I've
only used it for inlays into wood so far
