    Yep it could be, no one locally does that, I did consider speaking to a local guy who has a pretty high tech, high quality machine shop but then thought better of it. It's one of those ideas that...

    My National Security Act Violation

    EF111 from Upper Heyford at RAFL circa 1991. I confess, I did take some pictures inside the ECP. Odd looking jet but pretty darn cool.

    Those are quite sharp. I rebuilt a desk once with the drawer faces made of curly maple and the rest birch ( I didn't care for the contrast but the customer is always right) it's hard to get smooth...
