Hi Don--
I put you on the mailing list. In mulling the question, I think you're right--our forges are made to last forever so the blower should be of similar durability. Even the cast aluminum is much lighter than the cast iron blowers, so perhaps that is a good balance between being light...
We are working on designing/prototyping a geared hand crank blower to manufacture to go with our forges, similar design, but we had been thinking a cast aluminum housing. Do you think the light weight factor (stamped shell) would be more important than the sturdiness/longevity?
