 Might I bother you to, perchance, manufacture these wonders?  

There ya go, Melissa, something you can do for a living from Belize.
All you gotta do is think of a few more useful woodworking projects
that fit in a small envelope and you're in business. (It beats
subsistence farming against competition who have been practicing
for generations)

And all the access to tropical hardwoods to boot!  will have to stay 
away from Iron wood, as that may be too heavy and cause damage to the 
mechanism over time

 That's beautiful!  They should look like that from the dealer...maybe
 
 then I'd feel like I'd gotten something worthwhile for my $36. ;)  I
