Managed to get some folders done. I don’t think I’ve ever tuned this many at one time before. Definitely a very late night.

Messing around with lock inserts. This tiny part is a surprisingly massive hassle.

A 4 flute 1/16 carbide end mill.

Recently finished this framelock up for an awesome dude.

That will look great!
