Looks really good mate where did you get it anodized

[Millingman]

Did it myself. Did a few practice runs before doing the new block. The aluminium I used was 6082t6, nice to machine but more difficult to anodize due to the high silicon content. It came out as a gun metal finish not black, but I actually prefer it.
