Very nice!

My youngest son is in the electronic media production field. He is a freelance Jib owner and operator. I have built several things for him that either were not available or were way to expensive.

My oldest son is a commercial rated pilot and A&P mechanic. Same deal with him, we have made several fixtures and tools to make his life easier.

When my wife sees all of this she always asks, "what do normal people do who don't have machine tools?"

Wait a minute. Who determined that the people without the tools are the normal ones!

How'd you get those beautiful deep chamfers? Even with a sharp new carbide chamfer mill, mine always have some chatter marks.

Don't use carbide.

Ah, the couple extra thousand pounds of mill helps too

Great color! Anodize or paint?

It's Duplicolor metal cast paint. You first spray a metallic silver base and then a blue translucent clear. It's suppose to resemble an anodized finish.

You said this is your first project? Geez, my first project was an ugly tee nut.
Really quite incredible! Well done!

Well, technically it's my 2nd project. I kind of made a T-nut of sorts too for my first project. I gave it to my girlfriend to carry when she goes for her runs on the bike trail.

Well I'm not gonna show you a picture of my tee nut. But yours is nice. Ha!
