Hi Chris, Off to a racing start.....the elf’s must still be fueled up on Xmas goodies!When you need to chop a bit of the side with the bandsaw a secondary vice held at an angle allows the work to be held so that you can get down as far as you needLooking good!Cheers Kerrin
Hi Chris, While the ElfSHA investigation is underway for the Elfric to pancake conversion incident I was thinking about the angled lugs on the cylinders. Do you plan to just mill material away, leave two "islands" standing, then sculpt / drill them from the solid, or were you going to make them separate and solder them into pockets? Just fine either way, the brain just got working after the turkey coma cleared over the holidays, and was working ahead a bit on "how would I tackle that one?" for the lugs. One thought - if you tried to mill them from solid and something went wrong some way, you could always use the pockets/separate block method as a plan B fix. Just food for thought.
