VERY cool as always Geeze!
Can I ask how you are annodizing the aluminum? I have a small aluminum project coming up that would benefit from a nice black annodizing job like that.

Hi Dave,
I work for a manufacturing company that uses anodize, oxide and nitride finishes on our parts. The lot charges run $150 to $250 depending on process. I stick my bits in with the company parts. I think my owner takes pity on me as I am building guitar stuff instead of chasing women.
The finish is a type III hard anodize. I chucked the rods up in a drill press and polished with 0000 steel wool, 600 & 1000 grit sand paper. For a matte finish bead blast before anodize.
Chat up aluminum finishers in your area and see if you can't sneak parts into a batch.

In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice it's different.
Re: Birdseye cab grill is in
Thanks for the advice Geeze!
Yep...I have pulsed the local annodizing shops and am hearing about the same regarding cost. I haven't (delicately) asked about slipping in my single small piece into a batch though.
