I wanted it long enough that I could use it in a deep flask without banging my hand on the flask but I didn't want it so big that it wouldn't work in my smaller flask that are only like 3 to 4 inches deep per half. if this proves to be too heavy when made out of aluminum I'll make one out of some really hard wood like Bois D'arc stuffs hard as nails about the only way to work it is green.

I was joined by Rob Wilson for the casting rituall
It is easier with 2 people (safer as well if something goes wrong) in this case i could not have lifted the flasks alone
The pictures tell the story
