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...

Put me down for one!
Those are sharp!
I am an ex-machinist (did it for 5 years.)
I wish I had the space and tools to do something like that!
Let me know when you have one for me and I'll get you the money!

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.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
