What work did you just do?

Slotted a 3/8" wide Arky-pod. This one with aluminum legs.

Thanks guys! It started with a much thinner slot, but because of a burr, I ended up putting in a larger, sharper end mill. I have it in the Anodize tank right now. Working on my CNC fixture. Deal was struck with shop owner. He will program and run those on the CNC mill if I program a funky job on the CNC lathe for him 

BTW: I think I saw Carl's sloted band and liked it, so that is how this one became what it is.

Good job Rich. You'll probably get an order from me as soon as you put them up for sale.

Well, there is one standard 3/8 thick for sale on eBay right now. This one, I'm keeping for my gauntlet build. The CNC rounded version I am excited about, but it may be a little while yet. I am waiting on his guy to get the parts finished on the operations leading up to the CNC lathe work. Not sure how long that will be?? I'm making my fixture right now.

Here are the latest two parts out of the black dye Anodize. The Breech is 3.6" long with front screw location, right hand bolt slot and site flat only. If anyone is interested, let me know. There are two small dings on the very back face that I did not see prior to anodizing. Will not be a detractor, but will be priced accordingly for those dings.

I built a shooting bench to replace the former arrangement which would charitably be described as slightly better than offhand.  The goal was to be rigid but also light as it has to be easily moved.  The top is 2' x 3' 3/4" plywood.  Since it will be used on a slight incline, a 1/4" x 1 3/8" trim piece was added to the front and side edges to preclude the inevitable.  It's not obvious in the photo, but the rear leg of the tripod is not on the outboard edge, but centered on the 12" wide rear section.  Wheels will be added later so it can be rolled into the shed.   (I am always surprised by camera lens distortion, that rear leg has more than twice the outward angle of the front legs)

That looks really nice. Good work!

Nice job...
