no milling involved, I simply used a hack saw (carefully) and cleaned up a bit with a file.

You're on the right track. The challenge is going to force the flow between the fins, and that's going to mean keeping the lid right on top of the fins, or at least very close.
At this point, you've probably already thought about some kind of manifold, to allow the water in and out. In one side, through the fins, and out the other. Right? Right...

Oh yea, that's pretty well exactly what I'm doing, the water won't have any choice but to go through the fins , it doesn't show up very well in the pictures, but the fins are very thin, they are only a quarter to a third as wide as the gap between each fin.
anyway I've been a bit generous with the flow passage to try and compensate for any friction or weird boundary layer based flow restriction, I should have it finished today so we'll find out
