	Not really.  You could make the mold in a couple hours' time, given you 
have your design right.  it's really not difficult... it just takes a 
little time to cast the parts, join halves, and fire.

	That would be a royal PITA, would take a lot of time, and you would be 
rejecting many specimens.  I suppose you could modify the design to make 
it easier.  I can think of a particular mod that would probably 
accomplish this, but I'm not sure how good the flow of gases through the 
center would be.  Might be OK, or not.
