Thank you for the effort. I'd still rather have rosewood or cherry
plane totes. Soft drink bottles and dialysis machines, that's
another matter.

Exactly. No one material can do everything all the time. I'm also a
fan of using metal where is should be used, but can you imagine your
printer made from cast iron housings?

In what seems like another lifetime, I used an even-then-antique
letterpress, made mostly of cast iron. IIRC, it was called a Kluge.
Working for a neanderprinter.

Life changes, doesn't it?
