Few months ago I decided to make new ones on the CNC lathe. Soo shiny!! That was fun making these ones.

But these are from T3 and took them in class for the instructor to inspect for their quailty. He's a Level 4 Master Machinist and was very impressed by them. I paid $90 and he thought that was a friggen steal!! So I'm happy.

I lost some of my other photos so bear with me. I took these puppies into my welding class and shit done. The welds could've been better but time flys when your having fun and then class was over.
