and still found it "interesting" to accomplish...
not for the timid at heart to do.....
especially late at night ..
with a project manager yelling 'where are my parts'...
but well worth the finished product...
EDM would have been kinder and gentler.. but way too slow for this project...

now on to the anodizer... and the next batch of parts..

Note to project manager: we are running low on Monster ... OAO
