Nice hosts there GBD. I have to ask though...

Why the extra dead centre in the pic in post #15? Issues about getting the tool to the workpiece?

GBD post # 15, that is some chunk of aluminum, nice work.

Yes, the toolpost wouldn't make it, and I needed some extra room to work with. Was pretty stable anyways

^ I thought as much. I've had similar issues but never thought to do that. I just ran without a centre and a very well tightened chuck! Thanks for clarifying.

I look forward to seeing the finished article.

Going to install any tritium bling on it ?

 

[GBD]

I might.. im experimenting with some glow powders (strontium aluminate) and clear epoxy... its a fairly cheap alternative to tritium... assuming I get anywhere with what im trying to do with it.

(Credit to Lazerman121 for introducing me to these glow powders)

That looks nice I like how you milled the fins, gives it a nice distinct look.
