Fantastic work--I believe that 90% of a machinist's skill is displayed by the machining sequence concept and the setup. This is of course more evident as the task complexity increases. You obviously have a high level of these skills. Anyone can learn to do a repetitive machining job on an assembly line, but the true measure of a craftsman is displayed on those one-of projects that are seldom, if ever repeated. Great job.!
