INteresting, I've always thought a competent machinist with the right 
shop equipment could produce them.  IN fact, a machinist/toolmaker friend 
is going to repair one of Jerry's extensions for him.

Interesting thought, don't know how we explore that, but it's worth a 
shot.  If not, maybe it's worth finding a msall machine shop that would 
like another product.  I'd think the independence market would like to 
have some for sale.

Could even be a fundraiser for an affiliate or something.

THanks to everyone who responded.
