For a rank amateur such as myself, seeing these photos of work that is seemingly of such a high and unobtainable quality and complexity is an emotional mix of inspiration and frustration, total awe and something akin to embarrassment, reverence and resignation, knowing full well that I could never in a thousand lifetimes rise to the level of creation that I'm seeing here!

Daunting, is the word that most comes to mind, while viewing these photos of a true Master Machinists Art!

Hi Daniel, My recommendation is to drop the frustration, embarrassment, and resignation..... And keep the other three!

By the way, I have a lathe and I can problably make you a decent plug on it and not much else.
And let me have at least a half hour to git 'er done.
