Yeah, I'm down for pictures of the rest of the process. I'm a sucker for machine shop pron.

(Step #3) Finished up the slug bodies after a long day yesterday.
Finished bodies, a stack fatties and the slimmer Deflator bodies.
Stack of slims
Machine setup, kind of a bummer I couldn't get another vise for a 4th set up.
First 4 of the run, one cycle top and bottom
Setting up for the Carrier run today. No rest for the wicked.

Looks awesome! I love seeing how the machining process is coming along. Keep up the good work Luke!
Love the pics! Thanks Luke.
I know right, that logo has to take some time. :P
The logos actually serve a purpose.
The cutaway parts are really cool to see.

Yes, that and during machining the fixtures it helps with the other operations for correct orientation so everything ends up in the correct spot.
Plus when setting up fixtures for production it orients the proper XY corner for a quick setup.
Also, marking fixtures lets me know what is scrap an whats not, sometimes it's not apparent with my current organization (or the lack there of) in my small shop. Not all fixtures are as obvious as this one so marking is a must, not all get a logo but get marked one way or another so I know whats what.
Haaaa i have "scrapped" good blank while keeping scrap. I then cut the "scrap" into smaller parts for the project.
Then measured original "good" pc.....oops. Suck to tell your supervisor to order more matl'.
Stainless spring cups are completed. Had a setback last week, broke the only end mill I had in stock to machine stainless so it took several days to get a replacement in. I spent that time working out the design on the feedneck. I plan on starting the programing tomorrow for the feedneck.
Pre-order closes tomorrow evening 7/19/16

Looks good. Now I'm getting even more excited.
The new design is more aesthetically pleasing, but alas, no lever.
The rendering makes it look like you can add your own lever. I think that's the point of the concept but I could be wrong
Could you explain that top screw post? Will it have some sort of brass insert to help with different size hopper necks somehow? Or is it a surprise?
Just wondering if there was a reason for it to thread into a brass insert as opposed to just metal like the bottom.
Also thanks for replying, I appreciate it
The design allows the screw to position itself between the two sides without binding or bending.
Woot!
