Already made that block

well, apart from the dimples.

Here's the render I did :

The finished block ( I lost the pic of the inside, will try and find it though )

It performs very well, although it benefits very much from a powerful pump, I use an Eheim 1260 ( 2200 l/h ) I get temps about 4 degrees higher than a WW.

To make the pins, try getting some copper roofing nails and trimming them down to about 15mm, and trimming the heads to pack them closer. I managed to get about 50 pins into my block, about 10 over the core.

I fluxed the pins, balanced them in place and soldered them on. I reckon you could possibly drop another degree if you didn't have the solder join between the copper base and the pins.
