The final arm in it’s display case home. Several hundred parts in total and almost two years from conception to completion. In addition to the arm, I built and completed my wood and metal shop and gained quite a few new tools. I also restored quite a few as well, and every one was a learning experience. I also wrote quite a bit of custom software for the mill, lathe, and other items for the shop. I’m mighty proud of what I created and learned along the way considering that when I started I had few metal-working tools beyond a hacksaw.
