Absolutely outstanding work, as I have come to expect. (That's the problem with perfection, isn't it? You do it a couple of times and people start to expect it.)
The copper mesh is an excellent touch.

Thanks blue! It's all about moving the bar
Beautiful work. What's that metal base from? The copper mesh really fits the theme a lot better than the plastic did. Nice fan hole as well, what are you using to cut that out?

Thanks! The metal base is from a heater from the 1940s. I love old consumer appliances (radios, heaters, toasters, etc). I trip through a flea market is deadly for me.
The fan grill is being cut with a laser (pew, pew). The company is Vintage Laser who were the ones who cut the fan grill for Cobra-matic. They're working their way through the brass parts now.
I didn't have it in me *not* to sigquote that.

Me goes to turn sigs on...BRB.
Edit: lolz, yeah, one of the guys on bit-tech used that in their worklog. Now I can't say laser without "hearing" that sound.
Mach, I love your approach to making your own bolts. And damnit, now you have me thinking...
Thanks DT! It was fairly easy once I got going. I'd be interested in seeing what you're up to.
After a trip to the local range, I've toyed with the idea of stacking them length wise and making the sides of a case from them. That's the problem with modding. After awhile everything looks like a part for a mod.
