What's going on in your shop?

Almost got this thing finished up. 1) If you think that it is easy to file a round 3/4" hole into a square 3/4" hole in a 2 1/4" thick slab of dead soft mild steel, you're wrong. 2) I'm totally over picking up that 2 1/4" thick slab of mild steel.

I’ve actually got 11 going right now, these are just a couple steps ahead. It just seams easier and more efficient for me to work in batches than singles. I usually start bigger batches and as deadlines get closer on some, I’ll pull them out and finish them first.

The secret to making it work is putting everything in a nice, neat layout when I’m done for the night so when the little elves come in behind me, they know where to start.
