They have the general idea but we haven't shown them the details yet. I can definitely change the outsides and the pocketing to 90 deg. angles and mess with the odd left pocket, but my real concern is another part that they will be machining. In the full model I posted you can see there are two spines between the plates that provide compresison for the ball. Those have to be curved to a precise radius. Here is the drawing for the spine. Is making something like that on a manual mill out of the question?
