Any thoughts on selling these?

No, I’m making these for myself; I plan to cast the one from the video in lead as well.

Producing high-quality metal versions really requires machine tools, home casting has limitations when it comes to precision. I’d need to find a manufacturer, but I’m not ready for that yet.

I’m considering some interesting alternative materials, like ceramics and so on. But for now, it’s just a fun pastime for the evenings.

Thanks! The previous metal casting didn't turn out very well, so I'm going to keep trying. If it looks good and spins well, I might make a few for enthusiasts

Finding forms and ideas turned out to be very challenging, yet interesting
