    Just like that

    My head was most-certainly warped. I spent a couple hours last night at the Stout machine shop with a friend of a friend. Setting up for the cut took an hour and a half - and the cut took ten minutes... followed by twenty minutes of flat sanding. It looks really nice - and I am pleased with the results. All I owe the nice gent is a case of beer. Actually he didn't even want that... I just offered to be nice. I figure it would have cost me over $150 at a machine shop. It's nice to know the right people and not have to drop these things off at a place like Larrabee's.

    Measuring tolerances... to the .001 of an inch
