With all this talk of having patterns made, and iron components cast,
is there anyone in Oregon(or anywhere NW) who will cast from
my patterns? How much does one pay for this service, if it's even available?

There are several foundries in Seattle. North Star Steel castings makes
high strength steel castings for my company at $1.70 per pound and up
depending on quantity and complexity of the part.

You want cast iron, or cast steel? I don't know about cast iron foundries out
here, except for Knight's Foundry, which was tottering on dissolution a while back.
If you want cast steel, there is a foundry in Grass Valley, CA that does it. 
I knew they were around, but just found out the other day that the actual foundry is
right in downtown Grass Valley, a mere block from city hall! If you want cast steel, let
me know and I'll post the number and address. He's not real thrilled about one off
work, but is willing to discuss it on a case by case basis.

In  Gas Engine Magazine (Stemgas Publishing-they do have a web site)
there are often ads for patterns and/or casting.  Sorry I don't have
their address at hand..

For Al and brass Valley Aluminum and Brass (503)-245-7880 has very good
prices. He will work from 
a patern or do "lost foam".  I had a bell housing for a custom
engine/transmition pair cast for $50 from a 
pattern.  The patern was cast from a foam model for $30.
