| No I didn't. I've learned the technique, have a furnace, but alas, time, time, time. I made this yestereveneing. Thanks |

| Very cool. Did you make the Macume Gane too? |

A bit off key, but, since I lost my original wedding band years back I thought my wifey might like it if I showed a bit of commitment. Made this out of 6al4v Titanium (for the band) and some Macume Gane three layer (silver, copper white gold) for the insert.. The band has undercuts to allow the Macuume Gane to be swedged in. No soldering. |

| Beautiful work Mr. Pfinn. Envy you for having access to such wonderful machinery at work to pursue more important things such as this..... |

| Got so involved in the machinery that I forgot to mention how nicely that piece turned out. Poppy's correct. |

| Looks a fun and rewarding spot to work. Will be interesting in seeing the rest of the shop. Do you do any 3D "printing"? |

| Wonderful toys. I'm a bit jealous. |

| Love it when you guys speak Greek! |

| rayl. Yup. These are Lagun mills though. I grew up with Bridgeports (still have one with a "Trav-a-Dial" on x/y!). This is the metal working area. There is a HAAS cnc machine center, a Clausing engine lathe and a whole bunch of other fun stuff I get to use. I'll try to include some background shots of the other prototype areas as I go on with this build. |

| I truly understand "tool snob". Takes one to know one! |

| Nice Prototype(??) workshop. I spent many hours at a Bridgeport machine early on. |

| I didn't think that I would ever admit I'd admit it but HF has some nice tools anymore (and that is coming from a long-time "tool-snob"). And, at my age, they will probably outlast me. |

Just need to hollow out the back. This is at work by the way. Saturday morning. |
| pfinn, Image # 35619 | 20 Feb 16 12:07 |
Changed the bit for the larger intake (Harbor Freight has a really nice diamond bit kit). |
| pfinn, Image # 35618 | 20 Feb 16 12:05 |
I decided to use some diamond points to bore the holes instead of a standard drill bit to keep the glass and balsa from shredding. |
| pfinn, Image # 35617 | 20 Feb 16 12:03 |
After a quick primer coat(s) the cowl was double stick taped to a bit of MDF and secuured to a mill to bore out some holes. |
| pfinn, Image # 35616 | 20 Feb 16 12:00 |
Glassed the nose cowl with some very light glass. |
