Okay, I may have to modify my requirements from "...send pictures with boat & motor..." for a new girl... :P :twisted: :twisted: This one could easily win my heart... even if she couldn't cook!

Great work, great video's - you've shown more than ample skills, ambition, & determination.

I especially like the way all the video's transition from the first to the last, one-by-one, automatically.

What appears to be exceptionally exciting is when you were machining the various radii/contours - it must have been very satisfying for you to accomplish.

Blonds DO have more fun ! ! :mrgreen:

Amazing kills. Watched all 15 of the videos. She would not be out of work if she sent her videos to various gun manufacturers or even prototype machine shops. Especially since she can make her own specialized tooling.

That lady is very talented. I watched the start to finish series. She looks really young like late 20' early 30's but she is 43, married with grown children and lives in Denver Co.

One of the most interesting thing to me is she did the build on mostly manual Chinese machines. The chinese machine tend to be a bit loose.
She made blueprint by reverse engineering what look to be one of the German made Arminius single actions. I can picture how that can be done except, I'm still perplexed as to how she figured out the radiuses of the recoil shield.

I'm 66 years old and she showed me some new tricks for sure. What a talented lady.
