Hi Ari

Great to find you on here and great work as usual.

I have just sent you a PM.

I did some brass work with the exhaust system. I think most of you guys would do these with 3D printer, but as I don't own one yet, brass it is

Few more pictures

Nice brass work. Making something for this build on a 3D printer would almost be a crime! I know you are having difficulties with the hood. So a printed part there would be justified.

I totally agree with Lynn, your skills are far beyond 3D printing, the brass work is amazing!

Hey awesome work!! Really!! Do you have a vacuum table? I see the mat material and I know one of the companies uses that material for vacuum fixtuerimg. If so do you like it? Been debating on vacuum vs outsourcing flat parts. Double sided tape has been working but pita to remove!!

Yes I have a vacuum table and at it's best it is great. But when machining a thin materials the mill cutter tends to lift the plate and then it comes loose. By hand you can't move the plate you are machining sideways, but when you lift a corner it's quite easy to detach. I usually run in to problems with under 1mm thicknesses.

Even I agree to that! :-) These machines are works of art!

Fantastic work, it looks amazing a credit to you.
