We took a bunch of photographs and such, made a bunch of measurements via email... and I cut a part. It was a horrible failure. So... when I had the chance, I went to his place and took more measurements, tracings, and pictures... then made a new part. I honestly totally forgot about it until I saw this post for this video...
So it worked... yeay!
I need to come up with a project so I can teach Mitch some machining... just because I think it would be fun to do.
