Almost done a small project
(Preview)
Chris Stapley was kind enough to give me a small section of railway steel and 3 burned out angle grinders later, I made this. It was fun to make but took a while. Still waiting for my 7" Makita to come back from the shop. I guess I have to lighten my touch a bit. Glad I made it and thank you Chris.
