@@MarkBrown-kn5yk Wait till I have them all done. If you were to miss out, I’ll just make another batch until everyone who wants one gets one. 👍

Hi Mark, I’m WA based (Perth), but I can post over to you no worries. You can always email me:- ianmoone1111@gmail.com Or Mobile / Text 0400722006 Just been up the shed completing the lathe work on the top mounts, then cleaning up the lathe from head to toe, ready for making the alloy handles next. I have some Mill work next making the 2 flats on the 30 top mounts, and lastly drill and ream the 10mm cross hole, de burr & chamfer the holes & that’s the top mounts out the way. It’s crazy - they have the least material in them, are the smallest part BUT, they are the most complex / time consuming to make, and the two 1200mm long round bars - that I made all these parts out of there’s a full metal garbage bin of metal swarf that I can barely lift, just in what steel was removed to create the 30 parts. After this batch are done & out the way, I’m half tempted maybe to see what a engineering shop would charge to CNC machine them for if I was buying say another 30 for the next batch assuming there’s enough demand to need another batch. The amount of time that goes into making short production runs manually on a lathe is eye opening. For now I’ll just plug away at completing this batch & re-assess better production methodology if I’m going to do another batch after this lot.
