Hey man, I just like making pretty pictures!

Just for a starting point, I used 1/2 OD barbs in and 3/8 OD barbs out.

The bottom can be held in a vise or a jig of some kind (if necessary), and the top can be bolted down to a plate for machining. Would probably start with some round bar stock.

If someone wants to do a prototype, I can supply drawings (jpeg), CAD models (IGES), CNC code (apt or G-code) ..., conditions are that they have to post performance data. PM if interested.
