You are well on the way to finding Sabino cylinders inside that round bar!
Nice looking blocks there, Chris! Were you able to just saw them accurate enough to start with? Or are you going to have to square them up on the mill? That's certainly what I'd have to do! No way I could get them straight or flat enough right off the bandsaw.Kim
Thought I heard WUMPA WUMPA WUMPA all the way here, earlier today....musta been when you were test turning the block! Years ago I worked with a great toolmaker whose name was Muhammad Sanhas. His favourite gag at his bench was a plastic tote for his aluminum scrap. To unsuspecting visitors he'd pull out the tote and say "know what that is?" they'd shake their heads - he'd say "It's Muhammad's Ali!" and laugh like a nut job. It was just his thing to do.
