Granny, I don't think he carved that whole thing out of one solid chunk.

I am picturing the old Looney Toones cartoon depicting a toothpick factory where each toothpick is ground down from a giant redwood tree.

Yep, what Captain Obvious said. It was a sheet of aluminum and I cut it out and bent it before welding the seams. The "Stroker" nameplate is stainless, but that's all I had lying around otherwise I would have done it out of aluminum as well. It came out really cool so I attached a photo here.

The strut bar on the other hand, I did mill out of a solid chunk of aluminum (3"x3"). It was the first time I had operated a mill, so it took weeks and weeks (and a lot of chips) to get it to fit properly. I think it looks kind of cool, though, better than the oversized "lunchbox" for an air cover.
