This is, of course, insane...but pretty cool. Lots of CNC work.

Apparently there are some Added Elements in the underbits. The builder is said to be a fabricator of some note. Making a sidewinder work fore-and-aft is no small feat. I dreamed - briefly - of putting a white block in my project Duett. Bought a 122 with a spare B18 instead. And the fever broke.

Wow ! ! I bet that's a hoot to drive.
Have to admire some peoples abilities.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.
