"Hey Hans, thanks for the thoughts and consideration. I love machining and machine made objects! The production method is part of the actual appeal to this object for me and other people who appreciate machined goods! I personally hate plastic objects and the more machined metal things around the better. Because I am making this dishes myself all of the costs and minimum order quantities and testing are a null point. I may have a copy cat follow my design and make this but by then I will be making something else. Thanks again for the feedback! Cheers, Brian"
