Quote:Wow, that is some impressive work Harry.
That takes a lot of patience and dedication to make the special tools to use as well as what you are working on.
I hope to see more of this project coming soon. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you kindly Willie and DaveH for the compliments. I learned machining the old fashioned way by cranking handles on machines powered by leather belts running off a shaft drive on the ceiling of the machine shop. Not many can remember those now. lol. Most of the young bucks coming into engineering today sit in offices in front of a computer screen and wear a suit. CNC machines can do magnificent work but it does away with the hands on approach which is sad. I wonder how many could actually use a none CNC machine? Very few I think, even fewer would take the time to sit down an think of designing and making a tool to make cuts than cannot be done any other way. The latter is half of the fun in engineering.
