DOES ANYONE MAKE THEIR OWN METAL BRIDGES?

I'm interested in possibly making my own bridges out of brass and am wondering where to find any info on the subject

I started a thread awhile ago that had a couple.

I've machined quite a few out of multiple metals and woods. What are you looking to find out?

If you do I need a 6 string (octave) bridge that will fit on a 4 string neck.

I haven't figured out what strings I want but probably either

Bb-Ee-Aa

or

Ee-Aa-Dd

Cool idea I am surprised no one has done it. Takes the special bridge though and a headstock without holes or with room for 2 extra. New nuts are easy to make.
