It is always a nice sight to see a job finished, a nice picture for the album. Don’t know how the brass got in there. All the stainless is 416, imported at great expenses from USA (new 25% tariff and it was already expensive).
I am making a point of keeping plastic test samples – much cheaper to mess up – and it is nice to have something on record.
All my tooling is state of the art, not much carbon steel or HSS in my cupboards.
