Ha haaa project x! You seem pretty upset about my lil post. The bulk of what I said about gamblers mills is just my personal preference which I'm entitled to, the rest is just plain fact. For marketing purposes He added lots of shit to the mill that's not needed. His craftsmanship is where you have me misunderstood as well, use common sense, if I didn't like it I wouldn't be pulling from it period. I simply put the millmakers on a spectrum with one end being a builder that does a lil too much and the other end a builder that doesn't do enough. And yes if I can save money and time on shipping and waiting I will do just that.
Gambler told me outta his own mouth the reason he switched to aluminum frames was because it was easier for him to do it versus welding. And the specs I asked him for were to an old model that he doesn't build anymore. And I'm pretty sure these people DO NOT make a living off of selling mills, they aren't as common as you may think although they've been around forever.
WHEN GUYS LIKE CORVINO BUILT MILLS, THEY BUILT THEM TO LAST "FOREVER". THEY DON'T BUILD THEM SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP CALLING THE BUILDER FOR REPLACEMENTS/PARTS.
