LOL, mine never goes away :D I keep something shiny on my desk in case it ever starts to :thumbsup:

I admire your work.

My Dad talked me into meeting a tool maker friend of his from Hewlett Packard when I was 15. He convinced me to go to a Vo-Tech school during High School half days for two years for machining. I got a job at 17 in a sweat shop running screw machines until I went into the Marines at 19.

At 23 I was discharged went back to the Vo-Tech learned CNC got a good job, one thing lead to another, I spent 20 years as a tool maker, mold maker, etc.

Then my knees gave out standing on concrete so I went back to school.

Damn I miss Bridgeports, Laguns, Clausings, EDM's, Stereolithography, etc.

I now sit on my ass and manage a WAN, boring SH**

Anyhow I am rambling, awesome work Aaron, thanks for sharing it with us... :trophy-1302:

Those are beautiful work. I appreciate what you guys do because I have trouble drill and tapping a straight hole.

Never seen this before:

Some amazing fabrication in this thread! Too much to list. Makes us want to strive for a little more the next time we take BigRed apart. We'll have to visit this thread more often.

Beautiful stacks. Pantera guys have
been doing custom stacks for quite a few years
Some are pretty impressive but non have ever
been as nice as these

Great work

Thanks Bob

For those not following our Spirit of '66 Vette thread, I made this this weekend. It's an air filter adapter for a C6 element. This is just the base, I need more material for the retainer ring. Hope to get to that later this week. Enjoy.

Note: this is right out of the machine, just rinsed the coolant off.
