Its been a while since I've given an update but it looks like the aluminum idea is out the window. Its just way too expensive to make. Instead, I'll be making it out of ABS plastic at about 1/7th the cost. I finalized the design but will post pics of what it looks like once its finished and in my hands for copying purposes. Hopefully I can have it in my hands by the end of next week at the latest.
