Hi - I'm trying to track down a bullet-bar maker in Wales (UK). I came across the maker's website about a week ago - however I didn't save the URL and I have been searching for it ever since with no joy whatsoever!! Anybody come across it? They seem(ed) quite good hand-made steel items! Very frustrating!

I don’t know where in the UK Ben is located, but I have one of his Steel bars and also an Aluminium/Bronze bar and they are first class. His prices are reasonable too. Here’s his email address.
ben.r.burrow@gmail.com
Hope this helps,
Keith.

He also has a metal polishing website that contains his mailing address (in Wales):

Also, in case you are not aware, this website may prove to be a useful resource for you in future:

I would recommend Basil Henriques' Ezzee Slide bars, not sure what part of the UK he is in presently, but it was worth getting it shipped to the states. Granted, not a steel bullet bar, but you might prefer it in the long run...

Thanks Keith Glendinning, David Venzke, Nic Neufeld - ah! "Ben's Bars" .. found it, many thanks. The Ezzee slide looks good too, outside my price range unfortunately (for a beginner!)
Thanks Smile
