But before that

Got to make those studs sometime so might as well get the tiresome task out of the way now. I suppose I should harden or at least normalise them then conjure up the enthusiasm to make some nuts instead of these ugly stock jobbies.

Amazing how good 'macro' is on even average digital cameras these days... I never even noticed the pips on the end of these until I looked at the photos! Must set the facing tool a gnat's higher :)
