Hmmmm Steve, I seamed to have misplaced my milling machine..... I think I'll just pony up and buy one. I started to make the posts, and looked at them this morning and tossed em into the scrap box. I'd like to think I could make a windshield frame, maybe if it was square, and didn't need to be perfectly square....... but I know deep down, with what I have to work with, equipment and personal talent it's beyond me to turn out one thats decent.
