The biggest time eater for me is the arms themselves. The originals were 2 halves of stamped steel to form a tapered round. I made mine from a solid bar and hand turned the tapers on a lathe. The detailed ball effect was hand filed as well and no way I'd mass produce that effect.

If I could find a way to get the arms turned or stamped somehow the other stuff wouldn't be that bad. Cost would stay reasonable if they were mild steel or matte finish stainless.

Too many projects right now but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Maybe CCsammy needs another project ;)
