Re: Agreed, fine work. Tell me this:

>Clearly an enormous amount of skill and hard work: freehand bandsawing to a line and then handfiling the chamfers. My hat's off to you. Thanks for sharing the details. Since you did multiples it made me wonder if you had access to CNC cutting via plasma, waterjet, and so forth. I believe I remember the Shephard boys said they jobbed the cutting out to a volume CNC operation. To me, it's easy to think of supporting one-off multiples of an infill like yours, more than a Henry Ford assembly line of jobbed out components. But my attitude stems from opinion and preference, many infill kit fans evidently thought of Shephard as a godsend. I wish you great luck recovering a little $$$ for your inspired and hard work.
