Sweet!

How long did it take to make them, d-n? And how much do they weigh?

Thnx Guys,

I am working on them from Tuesday. some Little little work everyday.

The main wing is of steel about 0.4 or 0.5 mm, but the holes reduce the weight, the stem is of aluminium 1.5 mm, and again holes reduce the weight. The rings are a little heavy, they are 1.25" dia. The total weight of all 3 ( a guess) is around 600 gms or a little over 1 lb.

I will try and get 5/8" or 3/4" rings and see the sound difference, right now I like the sound its very metal, its totally different than the "chuk chuk" of alumnium one I have

Well nice! You got me really feeling the urge to make some new ones, just need to clear the never ending back log of everything else to do first. :)

Hey Nerd-

Very nice and I can't wait to see them in person. You could put a sweet Indian bell dangling inside that hole and give it a good thump during your solo.
