PM me your mailing address Ed. I will dimension the prints this week and send them to you. It will be fun watching someone build from them.

There's something to be said about the smell of cutting oil.
Finished up the material stop this morning.

Those really look to be castings from the depth of the relief and the finish in it.

What will you use them for, and what will be inscribed in the blank space?

My guess is that the big one will be a belt buckle with the waist range stamped into the blank space Big Grin

The others are likely to go on things Rob builds, with serial numbers.  I'm more interested in the things these will go on...
