Presentation tips:
old revision to new revision: Show comparisons, preferably pictures
Focus on the nose piece a bit more than handle/trigger
Clips didn't work, this design is better for injection molding - we learned from our mistakes
Hook piece - look into metal manufacturing methods
show that you can bend something
Silver could be as malleable as copperÂ
Get quotes from machine shop
