Reply:very nice work brooks looks great
Reply:i love the machining. i usedto work at a shop and anyone that ever has can testify to how they feel when they see a quality piece of work like that. it looks like it was done with CNC, but even that takes skill and finess on a piece like that. it's very unique and original. do you do all your own machining or do you have someone else help? i know a lot of guys don't have the skill to write code like that. they can design something like that (not nearly as great in my opinion), but they can't figure out how to get it to come out right.later,Andy
