You laugh, but I've done quite a few crafty type things that I wish I'd had the patience and forethought to photo-document.

Amazing, I wish I could work metal like that. I can't help but think there must be a better way to cut the rough pieces of aluminum though. Maybe that's all he had to work with.

Pretty awesome case mod. Kind of funny though, the land of bread lines apparently has no problem getting lots of scrap metal and metalworking tools.

What do you mean, "All he had to work with"?

That was the entire Red Army machine shop!

I found that strange considering he used a lathe and more advanced tools for some of the other parts....
