Here's my view this morning. I got a call from my boss last night desperate to have some parts machined and overnighted to one of our installation techs on a jobsite in Dallas.

Considering this was my first real machining project and I have no training at all, I think I did pretty good.

They look great but nows the time to tell bossman you'd be able to do a better job if you had industrial equipment in your garage.. hint hint wink wink

Boyer, that square piece looks like a frame for a Ocean Pro flame arrestor. Nice work.

I want oem replica flame arrestor a with a stay bracket that keeps the mesh screen down tight on top of the carb bell...or at least the in the bottom part of the arrestor.

I like how you think DAG and that is the plan someday! I dropped the hint that it was over 90F in my garage and that a portable AC unit would make things so much better so we'll see where that goes. They can't pay me outright for this type of side work so however they choose to "thank" me, will likely be in the form of an "expensible" item. I clearly need to invest in a A/C unit, a containment cell of some kind and metric drills.

On a side note: Before I started machining, I took an hour to piece together all the parts I had been gathering to assemble my own version of the "Fog Buster" lubricating system. Unfortunately, my oil metering valve would not close off enough and it was spitting out way too much lub to be useful yet. If you haven't seen or heard of the fog buster yet, I highly recomend you do. Retail on their smallest kit is $331 but I built mine for under $50.
