Default weld/bolt on finger smilies!

Just wondering if anybody would be interested in these. I can probably make them in stainless or just steel in 1/8" or so. Or I could do some special orders for a gussett at 1/4" or 3/16". This is definitely not set in stone since I will only be making them in my spare time at work. I believe the I drew them up at 3"x5". Here is a print out of the cad drawing. I'm open to suggestions on the design also.

Not sure if I can do something that big. Tank is pretty small on the machines I run. I COULD mill it but I don't have hardly any experience in that.

So would the final product be 3X5 or is that just the size of the CAD and it would be smaller?

I'm not totally sure. I will check tomorrow. I'm getting some stainless steel tomorrow hopefully to go ahead and run a first piece and post a picture.

I've been waiting for a remark like this. I'm suprised I've only had two people interested so far.

Remember that there is families out there and the last thing a mother or father wants to do is explain to their young child what does that mean?

Kinda tasteless imo.
To each their own.

Anyway. I drew it up at 5" in lenght and 3.5" in overall height including a 1" tab below the design. I can make larger ones but it will take time. I would have to re-draw it in the cad system and it would take longer to burn in the machine. Right now I'd rather just make the size I've already drawn up just to prove the drawing.
