Its only going to cost you like $50 (without the charger, but then again you can buy one in say Walmart and then return it)

very few supplys are required
No patio, no garage, no shop, live in an apt. No nasty chemicals, no chargers, ect... Like I said not an option. It would be more expensive to ship the AL to someone to anodize then it would to just make the same block in copper! I am going all Copper from here on out. Not much reason not to. Copper is pretty cheap and simple to get. I got a good drill press and a mill that can handle it (with patience). Only thing AL has going for it is ease of milling. But being I am not making large quantities it doesn't really matter. Especially being every new block I have dreamed up is not going to require anything but a 1/8" peice of coppper for the base! After getting good results with my REV. 2.0 and having mucho room for improvement with it I just can't see any reason to continue with AL.
