[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16582150, member: 21786"] I love this kind of precision machining. My old boss' father was a machinist for the city after he retired so I guess he got to play around a lot during tons of down time. In our shop we had a big bolt that he gave to my boss that he machined and supposedly it was from a specific cargo ship that he found specs for. So he made the exact bolt that went to some part of some ship, but he machined it so that you could unscrew a portion of the bolt itself and the line where it unscrewed was right on the edge of one of the threads, and inside the bolt was hollowed out. So you could theoretically carry something small inside the bolt itself and then screw the bolt in to its designated place perfectly fine. When it was all put together you could never see where the break was in the thread where it unscrewed. It was really cool for being just a bolt. [/QUOTE]
