It seems like every time I conclude with saying the mill is now operational, I realize there’s something else I want to improve.<\/p>\n

After making the new air spring bracket<\/a>, I finally wanted to fix the air spring scraping against the inside of the column. This would require making a new bottom mount for it, so it’s spaced further out from the inside of the column.<\/p>\n
