Any chance you could post a picture?

I'm also interested (sorry OP! but hope it is relevant) on any fixturing people may use on a gantry mill to hold aluminum extrusion for lightening hole milling. I have a few ideas in my head, but I'd like to get it running this offseason. So far, have only messed with 0.0625 to 0.125" sheet.
