Sweet!! [thumbsup] Worth every penny IMO. [beer]

I'd love to have a lathe.

And a welder.

And a scroll saw.

And a sandblaster.

And an anodizing setup.

And a CNC machine.

And...

:P

It is cool enough to buy something and make it fit. But to buy a machine and make something that does fit, COOL AS HELL. Nice work!

How about the Ti bolts/ allthread you are going to have to use? I have noticed your addiction and you surely can't be adding weight with steel. [evil]
