OK, you may have talked me into it (need some experience with production based machine work to see how smooth I can make the process steps). I just finished redrawing the prints and steps and I have twelve machine steps plus polishing so far...

I'll see how much material I have at the house and go from there. Price wise I have no idea, best guess around $20-25 shipped, hopefully less figuring an hour a piece even with mass producing batches of 40 or so. I'm about due to send Keith something for the site so I'll make a donation out of some of any profit I make. Stand by while I get my poop in one hand...

Which is just as well for me. I'm sure i'd hurt myself and waste a lot of money on raw stock just getting it right.
