Don,

What did you do to get the uniform finish on the large parts? Is that just sanded vertically, or some other technique?

Nice set of photos Don. You make it look so "easy". I may screw one of those buttons to the front of our clubhouse, right above the bottomless suggestion box that will have a shredder inside. "Got a good idea for someone? BZZZZZzzzzp!"

What number pump is this one?
Best regards,

On the posts / interest

I have many of these pumps in use, have made more than a few and even then, I learn something from each post that shows yet another way to cut metal.
