Amazing work Admiral Rob. I was keeping up with the process up until the 2nd photo when it all became way to intricate and complex  ;D I had a chuckle when I read "....it wasn't as easy as it looks".

Rob, I could get as far as the first picture using a hacksaw. After that, I'm lost. Absolutely amazing job!

Wow. Just wow.

Did you use gearing out of something else or did you make that as well?

Inspirational work Doc - as always!
It's a real privilege to share in these amazing projects.
Wish you had a YouTube channel, so we could watch the engineering magic as it happens!
Thanks for bringing us along, Justin
