If I was rich, I'd be doing this for recreation, it's my craft, and
it's
metalworking, but for now, I work to get paid.

Nice work - mind if I ask what they are?

Im guessing a planetary gear housingm with an outer clutch band.



Damn, Sam, That's what it am. G It's a subcontracted government job,
they didn't want to build a deep draw die for just 2 pieces.

I don't know who originally said it, but
"you are that......damn......good!"


Thanks, I had a pretty strong hunch, because of the notch area...

--that is a relatively large, thin-walled piece, the material alone
representing a significant cost--it takes many years of skill and
accumulated specialty knowledge to sucessfully manufacture items of this
nature out of raw stock..

Nice work...
