Absolutely stunning work! For some reason anodised aluminum looks in pictures like a product out of Photoshop or some CAD program, but as I've seen you make these, I know better

These are excellent quality museum pieces. You should offer a class in high-end technique.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

Sorry, can I have a return address for these little buttons, as I already have the whole collection of 'em?

I'm on the same lines with everyone else in this thread. Superb looks there.
Need to order a few and then get some tissues.

If you don't mind me asking; Where did you develop your metal working skills? Career or just a hobbyist?
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
