Assuming there are no issues with the casting process, look for it to become available in a week or less.

DKS - One of these days I'm going to go through all of the photos of your fingertips and see if I can reconstruct your fingerprints...

Test casting looks pretty good (color is random, and not what would be used in production):

Your ability to work with such detail on such small parts is simply astounding, David. You aren't human, right? Some kind of modeling super machine?

I love it! I've been wanting these for years! I was actually thinking of designing and ordering some of these from Shapeways not too long ago as the poles wizzed by my car on the way home from work.

Good call,
Erik

Can we throw down the gauntlet and challenge you with individual glass insulators for telegraph lines next?

Looks great David! I am going to need some glasses like yours to really appreciate these parts.



Best wishes, Dave

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
