Even though I'm not skilled in the art of miniature machining I do enjoy seeing what you guys can make from chunks of metal....a great site to visit with wonderful pieces on show.

Wow, viewing these posts and pictures of your work have left me dumbstruck. Absolutely outstanding work...a real touch of genius here.

This seems like a very interesting thread.
