Depends on how much effort went into reverse engineering the part, but most likely when tolerancing enters the conversation. Most machine shops aren’t able to hit those tolerances and would laugh you out of the shop.
A shop that can hit those tolerances will kick you out of the shop; there’s a good chance they already work in aerospace. They have a deeply vested interest in avoiding the accompanying FAA inquiry should it be installed or, Satan forbid, actually flown.
A non-aerospace shop capable of meeting those tolerances would start laughing at the desired price point. Purchasing a suitable blank alone would cost over $1500, much less cover the actual machining.

Aerospace manufacturing is fucking wild and is a rabbit hole worth diving into if you’re looking for some of the finest engineering porn humankind has to offer.
- Comment on genius 1 week ago:
If an aerospace engineer made one of these he would no longer be an aerospace engineer.
Everything else you said is correct.
- Comment on genius 1 week ago:
Aerospace manufacturing has a paper trail longer than you can imagine. The company selling this part can tell you (well, the FAA) the exact ingot out of the foundry and every single process and every person who has touched it since then.
No machine shop will take this job; the moment this guy is unable to produce a serial number and paperwork from the real manufacturer (likely during preflight if not installation) the FAA will track down the owner of said shop. At best that owner will lose their business and pay a massive fine, at worst spend a good long time in prison.
The FAA doesn’t fuck around and for that I am thankful.

A few weeks ago I ran into a guy wearing their masturbating nun/Jesus Is A Cunt t-shirt. I learned of that legendary shirt a long time ago and finally seeing it in person made my night, at least until Fallujah and Entheos blew me away.

This song/album fucking rules. I’m also partial to Monarchy, but Owls kept me company during dark times both literally and figuratively as I was working 3rd shift at the time.

Harry Potter was such a crucial part of my child and teen years. I cried when Dumbledore died. I read several of the books over a dozen times, and did an annual reread of the whole series for awhile.
I’m not trans but that TERF cunt will never see another cent or good word from me. I spit on her name as she spit on my childhood. Solidarity, friend.

I picked Autumn Twilight up again recently. The grammar and writing is a little simplistic but that just makes it a quicker read. The story is still excellent plus I’m sure the writing gets stronger over the course of the series.

- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
Totally valid, no rush. My guitar whispered to me a bit yesterday but its been a few weeks so I stuck to warming up rather than pushing for tempo.
I’ve mostly been working on Black Dahlia Murder’s Statutory Ape and Protest the Hero’s The Dissentience in terms of full songs. A few scattered PtH riffs off Palimpsest; intro to Sun of Nothing and the sweeps at the end of Selkies by BTBAM to round things out.
Haven’t written anything in years, just working on my chops.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
A few more;
Alluvial
An Endless Sporadic (Guitar Hero fans know)
Scale the Summit (but only the first couple albums - Carving Desert Canyons specifically)
TRAM (Tosin Abasi plays jazz)
Teramobil (GREAT introduction to my favorite modern bassist, Dominic LaPointe)
Trioscapes (Between the Buried and Men’s bassist Dan plays jazz)
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
I often can’t work to their music because my brain fills in their vocals for me, which is sometimes too distracting.
Can relate 100%. I have audio processing oddities that make understanding lyrics difficult. With how many times I’ve listened to their albums (1500 times in a row for Palimpsest! I’ve got the Last.FM receipts for it, even) I know the lyrics mostly by heart. Instead of my brain being distracted trying to comprehend it gets distracted trying to sing along. Thus, instrumental for getting work done.
Also I can’t keep my boys Between the Buried and Me out of this post any longer. Suuuuuuuuch a fucking band. The new album rules, too!
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
CHON, Covet and Mestís are pretty laid back and so fucking excellent.
Cloudkicker has been around for a long ass time; early-mid 00’s on Myspace. One of the progenitors of the ‘bedroom guitarist’ project, although he toured with Intronaut as his backing band awhile back.
Arctopus and Blotted Science are fucking weird and I love them.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
Hehehe I knew that would draw you out. Where’s your riffs?
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
Tosin is the greatest guitarist of the millenial generation.
Also his co-guitarist Javier has an excellent project as Mestís.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
Arch Echo
Behold…the Arctopus
Blotted Science
CHON
Cloudkicker
Covet
Haunted Shores
Intervals
Mestís
Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker’s vocal talents and lyrics. However as a guitar nerd and PtH fan I approve of their inclusion.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 2 months ago:
Technical death metal to amp up on the drive in, instrumental prog to get the work done, black metal to decompress on the way home.

We are stuck in the same spot. Musicbrainz Picard might help? I checked it out but metal genre tags range from simple to way too specific to poorly categorized. Might help you get the tagging done at least.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 months ago:
I have never paid to stream music. I grew up with dial-up and terrible cell reception making torrenting a chore (shout-out leaving Limewire up overnight for one song) and streaming a total non-starter. In high school I checked out stacks and stacks of CDs from the library to rip onto my computer.
With the help of better internet I was able to access torrenting and luckily my special interest in the metal genre kept me off the ISP radar though I use a VPN nowadays. You may be able to find a tracker specialized in a specific music taste - depending on your attitude towards torrenting. I do my best to recompense the bands via merch (especially vinyl) and concert ticket sales.
- Comment on Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔 3 months ago:
Corporate control over an algorithm that decides who is served what content is a platform-agnostic tool of power over society. We’re seeing that danger manifest in old and new ways every single day. That lever of power allows whomever owns that particular medium to push whatever content they like. That is the entire motivation behind and purpose of the Fediverse and other decentralization efforts.
Zuck and muskrat separate populations, push propaganda and influence discussions at an unprecedented level. The control a single corporation, a single authoritarian point of power has over such vast swathes of population dwarfs the propagandic power of Goebbles and Stalin by a couple orders of magnitude.
