ss lip
Very nice work!!!

I'm ending up thinkng that cutting a lip is sometimes a necessary part of the process in order to get exactly what you're looking for. Curious about two things. Guage of stainless steel?
Buffing/ easing of cut edge so that it won't cut your line?

Danny in the picture
That is a very interesting shape. Is there is history behind it? manufacturer inspired? Something you developed? Long, narrow, with the broadest part towards the back with that thin taperd tail. Is that shaped derived for a particular action? Or type of water?
