Can anyone make a custom item?

I am looking to find someone who can make from PMC or any type of metal actually a small ovalish (about an inch) piece of metal that says IOU. Nothing super fancy, smooth and sturdy but simple. If you think you can please mail me and let me know your idea and about how much you would charge. Thanks so much! Sachant at yahoo

When you state "says IOU" do you mean you want those three letters stamped or engraved on the metal.

If so, any competent jeweler can make what you want, or try going to a "Things Remembered" shop and buying something like this with the "IOU" engraved on it:

They have several other sizes and shapes of things like that.

I hadn't heard of "PMC" (Precious Metal Clay) before. Live and learn, it looks like pretty interesting stuff, sort of like powder met without a press:

Sounds like we're getting closer and closer to developing the fabled "Santa Claus Machine"...

You know, the one where you dump raw materials in a hopper at the top and anything you need made, from a brick to a toaster oven, comes tumbling out a chute a few moments later.

Yeah, the Universal Fabricator.. I don't remember if it's been discussed here or not, I was doing some random googling a while back and there's a guy (arizona, maybe) has a machine like a giant printer and it shoots concrete. Multiple layers builds a house for you, seems it said two days for 1000 sq. ft.

There's also smaller machines doing the same thing with plastic, they can build stuff with ball joints that are built in the assembled position.

I think this was discussed here, googling the group might find it..

It is interesting, isn't it. I went to Rio Grande to check the price: $57 / 50 gm "lump" of the original PMC. Bob
