Robert, 

Thank you for the kind words!  Way too much work is a great way to describe this project. I did not find all the photos and dimensions of the original until I was well into the work, so some of the proportions were thrown off.  This one is 8"L, 2.5"W, 4.5"T, and 18oz.

Thanks again, 

Ian Hanna
