Hey I noticed you didn't post any pics of the POP. How did that go? I was afraid it would be a sloppy mess and get behind the vial.

The POP went well. I made an injector to keep it clean. Made it from some Delrin round stock. I will post a picture when I get back to my work station. No muss no fuss.

Just a note on the bottom finish. As I don’t have a scraping tool. I did a progression of wet dry to 1500. Then burnished the bottom to find the high spots. Then went back and forth sanding and burnishing, until I had over 60% Burnish contact area. If in the future I get a scraping tool. I will try that.

Beautiful work! How about that sensitivity? I thought maybe 10 times that would be good, a half thou per foot?

That is 5 thousands per foot. Did I mess up my engraving?

Thanks it was a blast making it. I need to finish sand the box. Then give it a few coats of linseed oil.
