    You know you watch too much TOT when you have dreams about machining despite having never touched a milling machine or a lathe.

      Don’t worry, those dreams are perfectly natural. I’m sure one day, not too far in the future, you’ll meet a nice machine tool, hit it off, and do the real thing.
      Just gotta put yourself out there is all!

    The real goodie of showing only hands is that only the area around your hands need to be tidy...

Hell it seems like only a year ago and you were surface grinding tool holders for no reason! Oh and Blueing than poorly.

And I'm going to look for that opening trick you did and see if I can't debunk that. Although it was refreshing to see that trick done with a yellow cloth instead of the blue ones they always use in Vegas. But overall, not bad. The part you made for NASA is better than the part I made for NASA, or at least it will be when I make a part for NASA.

I drew a blank, at which point some millennial from the museum staff came over and told me to snap out of it, and that I needed to move along since I had been in the room beyond the 10 minutes allotted to us. Ultimately, I figured you were probably there in disguise and didn't want any of your fans to recognize you. Yeah, that's what it must have been... ;)

    Well, they said they were making a replica but didn’t specify replica methods had to be used! Good thing. The lunar module started out with 32K of computer memory and the programmers weren’t sure they could fit the code in that. Relief came when a new computer with 64K arrived and the programmers knew they could fit into that comfortably. (Ah, assembly language!). I bring this up only because I was wondering how much “core” Tony’s router has compared to the lunar module 50 years ago.
    BTW, that sand blasted finish was genius. Those parts have that “mil-spec” look nailed. Fantastic work all around. As always.
    P.S. there’s a whole thing out there in the makerverse centering around reproducing parts of Apollo and other space programs. A really great example can be found on the Applied Science channel where he reproduces something called a DSKY. It’s stunning if you haven’t seen it.
