Probably can - I got a guy to do lathe work real minor  (?$30 I think but
got something else done) BUT you will need to make a flat pad out of glass
flock and grind the class on a panel  Rather than paint I used heat shrink
to make it black

I used brass bar but aluminium would be lighter - have to go to aircraft
welder next week so will look in his bin to see what he has

It really is great system
