That looks really good! I've never had the skills to do anything like that, spent most of my time learning other skills, many of which are now obsolete since we don't use stuff that way anymore. Should have spent more time on the metalworking stuff that I liked, but got seduced by art and science... I became an excellent technical photographer, but never managed to be artistic at it. Finally got a clue, once SWMBO slapped me upside the head and took a class in machining, which took me 7 years and 3 months, to the day, to complete. Should have been a 8-9month class, if I'd gone full-time. When I call myself an old retarded Master Sergeant, I'm not kidding.
