And I'm done. I would have liked to get one more part done. But I'm too tired to do that safely. This thing is a 4.5kw mill that will happily kill you if you give it the chance. Only operate it if fully awake and present.

I did get one part completely finished, and 3 with all the drilling and tapping done. Just cosmetic shaping to do on those with an angle grinder.

Now for a quick break, then tidy up my toys.

Woo. First two parts of the day complete. Realised I could gang drill them if I welded them together. So used my new TIG skills to tack them together. Made centre, Pilot, and drilling to size a breeze. Did it on the mill. Which is probably a bit over kill. But was fun, which is most important. Also accurate...

Meet me over the rooftops of #Berlin on this Sunday afternoon at the fabulous Klunkerkranich. This nice event around #DIY #music and #making has become "the" aftershow party of #superbooth in recent years.

Three of four seems hemmed. While I haven't sewn any more body parts to my workpiece, I have certainly stabbed myself a few times. It's been way too long since I did a sewing project. And it's good to get back into it. Even if it's just a simple one.
