OK Russ, just one picture for now. Neil took the parts home with him and said he'd take photos tomorrow and post them.
This is a quick photo I tool of the one piece he left behind for me to touch up on the milled hex. It's the thread we did today, an M12x1.25-6g. I used a pitch-specific Carmex 16ER-1.25ISO grade MXC lay-down threading insert. We had also made M25x1.5, M20x1.5, and M14x1.5 threads. All were "pull out" threads, meaning no thread relief groove (just as the original steel parts are.)

And yes, I can't afford to give up the job I have because I so love it! If I ever screw up and get canned...you got me!
