Good job Mike. FYI, the original finish is not from a milling cutter, rather its from a vertical spindle rotary table segmented wheel surface grinder, often referred to as the most popular brand, a Blanchard grinder.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Not a very nice finish.

Thanks for the flashback Ken.
I spent many hours running a pair of Blachard grinders, squaring up stock for a form tool company. It was probably the most boring job I ever had except when there was a power fluxuation and the electric rotary chuck released the hundreds of parts it was holding. That why those machines always have dents in the guards.

Nice job Paul.
I have one of those forgings sitting around waiting for some machine time. The company that makes them is a half hour drive from me, Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises and I've heard that they will sell to individuals in small quantities for $16 a part. Of course I heard it on the internet so it must be true.
They also make the upper and handle forgings.

Good advice. No way would I drink out of, or cook in, an aluminum (aluminium) vessel. Instant Alzheimers.
