We offer CNC mandrel tube bending and custom fabrication of headers and exhaust in stainless or mild steel. This gallery features headers made for small block engines through 604 cubic inch race engines. We build our headers based on an equal flow design rather than a much outdated and overstated 'equal length' design. Any engine will produce more power when you reduce its loss due to pumping out exhaust gases.

Fabricating castings for another 4 Groundthrows. Here's one showing the method of fabricating the internal crank-arm support.
A weep-hole drilled through this support provides an entry for the lubrication, puddling in the cavity on eitherside and then leaking out on both sides to lubricate those supports without further squirts of oil.

A comparison of cast bogies under 37 716 (left) and fabricated bogies under 37 402. I have a photo of 37 402 wearing cast bogies and in DRS Compass livery from 4th July 2013 here.
The cast bogies likely came from a Deltic or Class 50. Those more knowledgable than me will be able to tell.
The USS Maryland Silver Service (48 Pieces)
In 1904, Maryland governor Edwin Warfield commissioned the creation of a custom silver service to be placed on the new armored cruiser Maryland. Soon after the creation of the Maryland Cruiser Fund Commission, the contract to design and fabricate the silver was awarded to the Baltimore firm of Samuel Kirk and Sons.
Soon after the commissioning of the service, the members of the Cruiser Fund Commission began to identify the images to be depicted on the pieces and undertook a massive site-wide fundraising effort to raise $5,000 to create the service. This fundraising effort appealed to patriotism and civic specifically targeted children, women, and “rich and poor,” and was well-chronicled in local newspapers. In May 1906, a total of $5,000 had been raised by citizens and schoolchildren of Maryland to purchase this silver service.
The set depicts one hundred and sixty-seven scenes from the history of Maryland’s twenty-three counties and Baltimore City. The USS Maryland silver service is unique. Not only do its pieces portray the houses, churches, and events of Maryland history, but their decorative borders symbolize the economy and culture of the state. Festooned tobacco leaves and oyster shell borders symbolize the importance of both land and water. Rope borders on each piece evoke the nautical origin of the service and the names of twelve noteworthy Maryland naval officers are engraved on the twelve punch cups.
On July 21, 1921, the U.S. Navy commissioned the battleship Maryland to replace the original cruiser, and the silver service was transferred to the new ship. After twenty-six years of service, including duty during World War II, the Maryland, known as “Fighting Mary”, was decommissioned on April 3, 1947. The silver service, which had been in storage during the war, was returned to Baltimore. The silver was displayed in the main gallery of the Maryland Historical Society until 1962 when the silver was placed on permanent loan to the state of Maryland and exhibited in the State House.
The entire service was displayed in the State House until 1992 when the submarine U.S.S. Maryland (SSBN 738) was commissioned and four pieces of the Maryland silver service [sugar bowl, creamer and a pair of candlesticks] were loaned to the Navy for display onboard the ship. The remaining forty-four pieces remained on display in the Maryland Silver Room in the State House until 2008 when they were removed in preparation for the recreation of the Old House of Delegates. The punch bowl and ladle were used annually at holiday celebrations at Government House until the late 1990s.
The entire silver service was cleaned and conserved by Creative Metalworks of Kensington, MD in 2010-2011 in preparation for its unveiling in the State House Caucus Room. Each of the pieces has been “clear-coated” to make them less susceptible to tarnish.
Decorating the Silver Service
Six themes appear throughout the silver service: nation (bald eagle), state (Great Seal of Maryland), county (local scenes and vegetation), hospitality (cornucopias), naval (the USS Maryland cruiser), and nautical (rope border). Oyster shell borders denote pieces representing counties that border the Chesapeake Bay, while tobacco leaves are used on tobacco-growing counties. Platters and compote dishes are engraved “USSM,” and a Mason-Dixon crown stone forms the handle of the serving utensils. Twelve naval officers from Maryland are honored on the punch cups that accompany the punch bowl.
Designing a Masterpiece
This service was a tour-de-force for Samuel Kirk & Son Co., Incorporated of Baltimore, and each piece is decorated using the firm’s famous repoussé technique of hammering designs into the pieces from the reverse side. More than thirty artisans worked on the service for six months. Each of the one hundred and sixty-seven series was meticulously researched, and Kirk’s artisan relied on drawings, photographs, and published sources for accuracy.
Creating the USS Maryland Silver Service
The unique silver service exhibited in this room was created in 1906 by Samuel Kirk & Son Co., Incorporated of Baltimore. The forty-eight-piece service depicts one hundred and sixty-seven scenes from the history of Maryland’s twenty-three counties and Baltimore City, and each county is represented by at least one item.
Although Governor Edwin Warfield commissioned the service in 1904, no funds were allocated for its creation. Appealing to patriotism and civic duty, a state-wide fundraising effort targeting schoolchildren, women, and “rich and poor” was required to raise the necessary $5,000 to design and fabricate the service. It was completed in 1906.
The silver service was used on two US is Marylands until the late 1940s; it was placed on permanent display in the State House in 1962. Two candlesticks (representing Garrett County) and a creamer and sugar bowl (representing Charles County) are now on the submarine Maryland (SSBN 738).
