God, I love manufacturing!
Why polish them? What purpose does it serve? Seems like an expensive finish operation for a tool that will be banged up and kicked around during its life.
I realize you chose sand casting because there is very little NRE $$$. But... could you make a lighter part if you hydro formed it from sheet steel? Lots more NRE $$$ for the tooling, but.... obviously a much, much cheaper piece part cost.
Cool product! Wish you the best of success with it.

John, stands showed up at the house 15 minutes ago. Wife called to know if it was ok to pay the $65 UPS charge (brokerage, tax, ?). I'll post pics here tonight and will e-mail you re packaging etc.
My preferred colour would be red BTW but anything would do. A nice bright colour would make them more visible in the paddock and would reduce the risk of a car driving over them.

I wanted to mention as well that IMGT3, the distributor of the stands, has rendered world-class quality communication and customer service regarding the status of my order. While there are some very well known "tuner" businesses I would likely never do business with again, I would jump at the opportunity to give repeat business to IMGT3.
