Oh my .Well I questioned the way he did things a long time ago but it was none of my business ,wasn't my saws .After seeing this I now see why he and Cliff had me cutting parts for those 3120 Hottys . By the looks of that machining he damned certain could not have done it .It's really a shame .
It's been a long time ago but I sent him enough indexable carbide inserts with the holders he certainly at that time had enough good tooling he certainly should have done a better job .Evidently didn't have the skill level.
I never had the desire to build an alkie burner but if I did it wouldn't look like that for certain .I'd be interested to see what the pipe looks like .Then again he might not have built it .I'll just say again it's a shame .
