So stuff has slowed down.
I've got offers from manufacturers saying they can make the case, but I've asked for proof in the form of a 13" x 5" 6 degree wedge CNC'd from UHMW to prove it.
No ETA on prototypes att, but I am asking for a raw aluminum one to mix and match tops/bottoms to check fit, tolerances, sound, and overall sturdiness.
Had some personal issues to deal with the last week as some may have seen on reddit, but I'm gtg now.
If you know what I'm talking about: her name is Jane.
I'll miss her, but she'll be in a good home. And maybe we'll meet again someday, and she'll tell me how she's been.
