I'm working on a patent for my new tool I've designed to help cut perfect slabs using an oil saw.
They work great for me and so far I've had a lot of happy patrons at my local Rock and Gem club.
If you think this product looks useful, please consider making a purchase to support my endeavor.
I'd love to get these patented and made out of metal but I need help!

It's a neat little gadget, and I am always happy to see entrepreneurial spirit. However, you should know that you generally cannot pursue patent protection after public disclosure. You posted the design on Reddit and Etsy, and are promoting it here and there. Too late to file for patent.
You can still sell your stuff, of course. Perhaps claim copyright on the specific appearance.
Good luck!
