Do you have a bandsaw yet? I was just wondering, that's a lot of plunge cutting!
Nevertheless, beautiful result, and you solved the sacrificial plate/clamping problem, which would have been a head scratcher, for sure.

Enjoyable watching you work, this is going to be a fine engine.

I do have a couple bandsaws. But it was easier for me to just find the center of the hole and do the rest with my DRO. The plunge cutting didn’t take very long at all once I had my DRO set.
