I got motivated last night and decided to bring the mill into work today being I got nothing to do here today.

This block is being milled as I type this. SLOOOOOOLY but surely. If the end mill holdes up it should be done tonight sometime... 2 hrs already and not even a 1/8" in. Going in 3/8" so hopefully it will make it by the end of the work day, milling anyway. Still don;t have a roughing endmill but i can do that anytime. Kinda want to test the block before I do that and after to see what difference (if any) it makes.

The base is 1/2" thick overall, the pins with be 3/8" high leaving 1/8" for the end base thickness. Which might be to much... I want the base to be pretty thin so the heat doesn't spread out. i want the heat to go strit up the pins. I think this is going ot work pretty good....
