  I’m just speechless. I have no words adequate to properly describe my admiration for your vision, your fortitude, or your capabilities. I’m going to be studying and referring to this video many times. Thanks for putting such extra effort into your build that it took to create it.

  Brilliant. Speaking as an engineer, I know PLENTY of engineers that wouldnt have done half as good a job as you did. Very well done!

  &quot;my natural inclination to over build&quot; I felt this.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqYJS27aC4w&amp;t=136">2:16</a> let me just say at this point, that there is a hell of a lot of measuring that went into this, there have to be right angles all over and you&apos;re not in your CAD, you have to hold it tight or it will move, it&apos;s all by sight and welding also does it&apos;s thing and you have to take that into account.<br><br>What a monster of a project, I&apos;m in awe.

  You have incredible vision : not to see things how they are but how they will be:

  The real MVP is that taper-length 2mm drill. Cant believe it made 50 holes

  I love how his vacuum keeps growing a bigger and bigger dent throughout the video

  The mind is probably the most powerful tool to have.

  I love when people refuse to believe the limitations others accept.

  .00005 - .00002 vertical lines on radius cuts are about as good as it used to be for expensive CNC machine tools circa 1992. It is a circular interpolation issue. If you have the ability to change the calibration a visibly smooth radius may be possible. Good luck with that. The harder the metal the worse this issue is. But, functionally the parts are not likely to suffer this imperfection. I was working with inconel at the time for US military contract applications. &nbsp;I am amazed you were able to built this machine in such a small space. You must be a genius or very close to that level of understanding and abilities. Thanks for sharing this.

  You should do an &quot;outtakes&quot; followup for this one. Clearly a badass build.
