[chbot] How do I cast a Robotic Finger?

[m.beckett at amuri.net]

Richard/Chester

Is there any chance you might be able to cast an extra one for me.
I have a plan to produce one of these machines as a birthday gift to

I'm happy to reimburse costs of course.

I wouldn't want to be fingered as a bludger....

Thanks
Mark
