Okay Rob, it seems that i am the only one man enough to say this....
I HATE YOU!!!!
Maybe you could write up a quick "How to get your shiny bits shinier"!!!
Awesome work and it is going to be a fine machine when you are done!
The mill kind of has the same shape as my Clausing!

As usual Rob, very nice machining. That reminds me, I need to order a bull nose center for a project coming up in the near future.
