ABT Machine, Sept 11, 2009 http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Visit_2_%40_ABT_Machine.html Block is mostly bored (the process is done in steps, and has 1 more step to go). Cylinders will get honed next. More info about these picks are in the corresponding blog post, here. Honed, well, almost. http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Visit_2_%40_ABT_Machine.html#0 b4189f86-e4ad-443c-a0f0-5014ec71d8e6 http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Visit_2_%40_ABT_Machine_files/Media/IMG_0103.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/willm/Site/Photo_Albums/Pages/Visit_2_%40_ABT_Machine_files/Media/IMG_0103.jpg?derivative=micro
