Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures and story. That certainly must add a significant amount of time to the project.

Hey Ed,

Many techniques and processes used in gunsmithing can also be applied to other areas of interest, which is why I decided to take the time to document this project. I've been machining for many years but was amazed to find how many new machining techniques I learned when I started messing around in gunsmithing. If nothing else, it's really challenging to create the tooling and fixturing necessary to do this type of work.

It doesn't really take that much time to document a project. I just keep a camera handy in the shop and snap pics as I go, then post and describe them while still fresh in my mind (although that window isn't as large as it used to be). Over at H-M, I always encouraged other members to do the same and it seemed to be catching on.
