Pretty sweet. I'm considering getting my manufactures FFL w/SOT.  Need to make pew pews that are more cha-cha-cha-cha-cha and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Plus 7months is was to long to wait on a suppressor. 

Not that I have any needs but will either of you be able to do optic cuts for Holosun RDs?

I am sure other HCers want to know.

Really need a proper metal mill if the slide is made of any sort of steel. 

I am strictly engraving. Do not have the equipment or insurance coverage to make substantial cuts in a support frame. 
Today, making Grogu business cards and beer openers. 
 

Emergency engrave before Kasia left for the hair salon, where many beers are drank. I am digging these credit card beer openers. 
 

Working on some deeper engraving on an Amazon Package Opener. 
 

^^ Very cool Jeff and impressively aligned with the shape of the tool.

Loving the Fragout Firearms designs for practice on cheap shit before moving to expensive shit. 
 

Is there a way to define an area and have a pattern design filled in that area, or are these designs just made for these specific dimensions?

Yes. It is possible in a number of ways. Lightburn does it pretty well and Illustrator does it even more exacterer.

I mostly watch for the music, but this is a compilation of making templates on a number of things to fill with scrolling. 

I made custom handrails for my current work site project. This morning I finished up the upstairs two rails in Walnut.

Am now working on the same layout downstairs, in White Oak. And have some metal rails coming later today, that will get capped in the same Walnut and White Oak. Those pics to come later.

Last week I was working on the master suite ceiling in White Oak tung and groove. Made more interesting because the architect specked that the trim would be flush with the tongue and groove.

Lots of crazy compound angles!

You can't see from these pics, but the handrails have a pitched top. Kind of like a 4/12 roof.

Very cool. Needs more scrolling though.

They were, as well as my neck.

The handrails look great. Are you going to use the Rubio on them?

I'd like to, but the customers picked out a Mahogany stain? Luckily it doesn't change the look of the Walnut much. Just darkens it a bit. It'll get a water based clear poly on top of that. I would have gone with Rubio mono-coat in Walnut.

Mahogany? 

They're trying to match the finish on the nearby Walnut kitchen cabinets, and thought that was the closest match. It really was close.

So how did you do the tops of the rails some kind of Moulder, huge router bit or a crazy cut on a table saw?

I just set the table saw to the desired angle and ran it through, turned it over and ran it through on the opposing side. 

I did have a second set of hands attached to Al.
