Its stood up amazingly well Steve. I lucked into a really hard piece of mystery metal when I made the body. Was a bugger to work with but worth the effort. To do it again I'd spend the money on a chunk of 4140 heat treated or similar to get the hardness again. Only complaint is you have to really synch it down or it will rotate on the compound under a hard cut. Thats with the bottom relieved so that only a small ring touches on the outside edge.
Same with the cam that pushes the locking pins. Mind you the pins are brass and they still work.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
