Yosar, ASCA, Access Fund, any consensus on where people would like to see the money go?
Who could best use an extra few bucks from the climbing community?

I just sent the beak jig, built by Walt Shipley, to Tom Kasper, a freind of Dr. Piton's, who bought a batch of mis-heat treated beaks (and will be re-tempering). You might want to get in touch with Dr. Piton if the open source climbing outfitters (OSCO) happens. The jig is used to help brace the blank during the milling process of the taper on the blade.

Go ahead and send me a beak. That would be an easier way to prototype them. Are there any modifications that we might want to make?
Yes!

healyje, just a little info....
I checked with some CNC guru buddies of mine and they tell me that milling the hammer head would be no problem.
According to the experts, with the new diamond cutting tools, they can cut stuff that Carbide can't. Like inkanel, forged titanium, forged inkanel etc. so forged 4340 would be no problem.
Maybe you've already found that out?

Shack, yes that's the feed back I got as well on the CNC milling. Thanks for checking though. Having a pretty heavy week so am a little behind on my D5 chores, but should be caught up directly...
