Found weird vintage furry art at a local antique store and I love it

A little more lapping work on it today. Got it down to about 0.0001" error, and I think a large component to that is convexity of the surfaces. I'll need a bigger optical flat to be able to verify that with confidence, but improvement!

Been attempting to partially lap both faces of this into good parallelism with each other. I started at 0.0005" error and a few hours later I'm near 0.0002". I'd still like it to get better but lord this is slow-going, even with 9-micron diamond paper.

Are you going to try and take her leash, or will you make yourself useful?

Toolmaker flat survived its 3-day long heat treatment and cryo steps. She's ready for grinding and lapping.
I do have a small patch of soft material on one side, which has me a little concerned, but I'm proceeding anyway
I need to hunt down a good used hardness tester...

Designed a little insulator ring for that toolmaker's flat. This will ensure my body heat doesn't warm up and warp the workpiece when doing final lapping of the surfaces.
Work is ordering liquid nitrogen soon for a project, so I may get to heat treat this soon

Not having adaptive toolpaths kinda sucks, but it's not the end of the world
