Very nice. One question...Has your friend given any consideration as to how much heat the rubber o rings will be subject too? Seems like they would crack after a while. However, it's just a simple o ring that can probably be purchased at Lowe's. The price range is certainly palatable for a shooter like myself that would like an annealing machine but, don't care to pay the price of the established models because my budget won' allow it. My Jeep comes first! LOL. Regardless, it appears he has built a nice looking unit.
Good question kid; I'm sure that's a consideration, email Mike and ask him, he'll make you feel like a friend too.
