    Easy there cowboy. I think you're more excited about this stuff than I am.

    The machine is at my shop space, which is 100 miles from where I live, so I only get to play around with it on the weekends. It's summer though, so there's other stuff to do on the weekends too. It'll be a month or two before I start to get the machine and the process dialed in. For the moment I'm happy just using whatever bits I got from the previous owner or picked up from the big box store to turn out some hobby-grade projects.

      It's like having another version of my self talking about it! 

      Hey, drinking beer is an important part of summer!

                    I will compare pistons to the first time I did this. Snap did it better
