Oprah is about to have a sybling

Cutting those stupid 12 spacers all the same length was very difficult, and even then, I only got plus or minus 0.5 mm, with quite a few in between ones. Now I need to make sure they are cut perpendicular to the height of the cylinders, which they aren't right now. Ghetto Harbor freight saw.

The observant person will note that there are only 11 spacers. That's because there is the 12th sitting in the garage with a fresh hole in it, holding at about 850 degrees F.

They are very difficult to drill. It's messed up. Like giving birth to Oprah's sybling.
