die forming | die makers | diemaker | fabricate | fabricating | fabrication | fabrication deign | metal fabrication | Sheet metal working  Two years ago I posted an inquiry for ideas about how best to form a double curved cone. We use these in elevated water tanks for municipalities for their drinking water supply. The cone is a smooth or flared transition between the stem of the tank and the sphere. The tank is similar to a golf ball on a tee. It is known as a water sphere type tank. The flared cone goes between the shaft or stem of the tank and the sphere on top. FABRICATION

chasing | die forming | diemaker | diesinking | prototypes | tool maker Without going into too much detail about where I work.... I receive a lot of copywrited material from potential customers of which my company may or may not do business with. I have in the past gone on my own and made prototypes on company time, and sent them to the customers which have gotten us the business. Lately we don't have the resources to take on new business so the art work and such just sets. Would it be ethical to contact these people outside of my job and offer to make them prototypes in my home shop for a profit as a private contractor? I doubt weather it would hurt my company because we have no real competitors. die forming, shell forming
