 That's great work, Eberhard. Many a time I've wished you and your milling machine were sitting next to me when tackling small pieces.

 Sure but... I've got nothing against 3D printing. I buy 3D parts but I wish I didn't have to, I wish I could make those parts myself. I think there's something to said for building a model totally by hand. I can't do it but for those that can, I admire them and their skills greatly.

Nice made parts Eberhard.  People may be able to buy them sure, but I only resort to that if the part required is beyond my skill level or capacity to make them.  A hand-made part is still preferable in my mind.

 

cheers
