Carve the thing out of wood with a grinder and a spokeshave, sand it down.
Put newly carved pilllar in a 60 mill teflon bag.
Cover pillar with a small sheet of carbon fiber (you got off eBay).
Cover carbon fiber with epoxy using a brush.
Hook up your vacuum pump to the bag corner, turn it on.
Wait a half hour.
Take out of bag.
Drill out guage holes with a Dewalt holesaw (from Lowes=$15.95).
Your done.

Start selling on the web and go buy that Ferrari.

I have had 3 people say they are going to send me a pillar so we can send it to the company and get started and NO ONE HAS!
