Also, @ Fixittt, that would be a way sweet toy to have in a garage. nice. As far as making the top out of solid copper, well, we really don't work with much copper where I work, & none of the 1" thick stock hanging around. I am trying to make do with what we have....I can use material reminates for nothing. On alternative that I had not thought of before was making the top out of brass....but then brass is not as easy to machine as alum either.
The thing is, we send out parts for anodizing on a weekly basis. Most of those places charge a "lot" fee to do the work. So, if you want 1 part done, it costs $50. If you want 50 parts done, it costs $50. So, I could just slip my parts in for nothing.
