Right, a few random photos I took, just random stuff, so as not to give away the build itself........ You can read this all on here.
I know many of you like to see impressive builds, fabricating skills and lateral thinking.
I spent about 4 hours with JohnnyBravo at his workshop where he works on various automotive projects and jobs, including military armour restoration. He has such a wealth of knowledge, experience and problem solving, it just made me shake my head repeatedly. If you read his build thread below, YOU WILL BE AMAZED.

First one was this milled piece out of a lump of steel, probably just to try out the set up.
Next up, a piece Johnny made for a customer.
He had only a photograph to go on, and drew up a sketch, took 600 lines to just do the face.
Then this was the set up piece to see what the CNC mill made of his programme. Once fine tuned it went off perfectly, happy customer.
Another simple test piece, just done on a bit of plywood, but made me look repeatedly.....
Lastly when he showed me the car (well, what is left of it) in its little garage, filled with treasures and panels etc, the labelling on his hand made bead roller caught my eye, it kinda sums it all up for me..... I will go back to my Fisher-Price toys now.
