Saw this in the B/S/T section, but never saw anything here. Killer work

Also, very nice job mounting the 4-jaw on a slab plate attached to the rotary table. For RT use, a 4-jaw rocks, and takes little longer to set up than a 3-jaw.

Agreed! I got to see one of his alumabronze lights a couple weeks ago at a GTG. Awesome machining. Never knew the alumabronze oxidized so fast though, never heard of the stuff until he used it.

Well, I got a bag of nice red rags there - they work as advertised and I haven't had to make a warranty claim on them yet.

Seriously though, I've been gone for a couple of weeks and am just now getting back to my favorite pastime of reading CPF. Thanks for the kind words, gents. What I've learned about machine work over the last couple of years has been mostly from reading here and from making plenty of mistakes!
