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. ;)
