Hard to say. I make them in my spare time, so I can't really give an estimate. I just post pics along the way.

Speaking of, I will have some extra blocks if anyone is interested.

Oooohhhhh, OK. I thought it was sort of a set and let run program. Was just curious. Very excited to get these in, as everything is arriving for this last build.

It is a setup and let run, but I have to rotate parts, flip them over, take stuff off, and put on, change bits, clean off stuff.  Not to worry though.  Things are shaping up nicely:

Ran into something interesting:

 
I seemed to have oxidized into a nickle-plate look.  Im not sure why, but it looks kind of neat.  I will look more into this and see if I can repeat the experiment, and see what may come of it.  Its not nickle plating, but pure oxidation.

Could be a chemical reaction from something you machined earlier. Doesnt happen very often but possible.

Still looks pretty sweet.  Very gun-metal-ish.  Its the interior of the block so it won't be seen either way.
