Cast is the problem, don't know why anyone would take that route!!! And for $750.00 cast! I wouldn't waste my $$$.

What would you do, machine and weld?

What would you do

Laser cut the parts from some 8 gauge stainless steel, make a simple die to press the shape in the handle portion and tig weld the legs.

Sometimes you have to eat the development costs . Stainless flatbar precision ground, blind threaded holes on back and blind pockets to tig weld the arms in. Similar to @J Mack
