and more m!lling

Working on a piece; almost done with this one but we ran out of time and somewhere in between the tail of the l@the had to be repaired because someone (not me I swear) had messed it up so that was a headache! Seriously, I don't like when people break things and then don't tell anyone because it affects everyone down the line. And, being a stickler for that stuff because I work(ed) with a LOT of stuff (cameras, lights, audio stuff, you name it), I see every hairline, every crack, every shoddy coil. I have eyes on you LOL.
Anyways...I have a final chunk to cut out with diameter .25" and I'm pretty much done! There was one guy ahead of me who was done with his, but I"m the next one in the class :) My tolerance is .1 but I'm at a .00175 to what was asked for so I"m okay with that.
There are even two bus!ness people in my class who are taking the class because they want to run their own companies one day and want to understand manufacturing. Smart. Very smart. It's a HUGE problem in a lot of design schools; not enough hands-on experience. It's not enough to make a beautiful drawing; I think it's important to understand tolerances, what the process of making is like, etc.
