Waouh ! Well deserved, I like this build, and your video is gorgeous ! I learned a couple of things, I like the way you do things and the nice blend of manual and machine process. This is the way I also work, and your etching method by hand is impressive !
What's that black product you're using here?
Great Craftsman!
Thanks for posting this,
Christophe

Thanks christophe for such a nice message, the blackening product is aluminium black made by birchwood casey, bought from the local gun shop, i also use brass black as well.

Thanks pj, magnets are 5mm long, 4mm dia. The ones on motor side are mounted 3mm deep so to give 2mm to position the other magnets in brass legs and keep guard straight. Have accidentally glued in wrong polarity on other projects, triple & quadruple checkin is neccessary when using these things as they can flip in a millisecond.

Cheers

Those are some tiny magnets and would definitely be jump'n fiddly bits to work with...like roll pins with attitude! Thanks for the detail...makes sense now.
