The stamp is a real nice touch.

which makes the bends nice and crisp. Other than that I made them by hand, except for the slot which I used a machine for. The way I made them they would cost 10 bucks a piece in labor but it's only time.

What did you use for stock? Lets see some pictures I am nosey. Are you using the Pinchney or the BM as your inspiration. The BM's are a little bigger in dia. and lip size as far as the Conrads go, which is all I have seen in person.

believe me i buy them if i can from either mike or NJ. You can't buy these as far as i know. Takes way to long to make them but if you can't buy them you have to make them and it is kind of fun. Necessity is the mother of invention.
