Got any pics of the actual build process?

I did not take pictures of the machining process because the procedure was very simple and standard. For the post, I milled the block to size and then milled the dovetail feature, I then drilled a 1/2" hole where the cam lock goes. I then transferred the post to the lathe and bored the 1/2" hole to the required sizes for thew camlock. I then turned all the camlock pieces for the bore and went back to the mill to drill and ream the piston holes.
For the adapters I milled the dovetail in a 12" long piece of flatstock then cut it into lenghts for the adapters.
