$165 for the material.
Should be here in a couple days.
I should really get designing... 
I got a discount through my employer.
Normally would have cost $213.46

That's some big lumps of aluminum.
When you say two piece. What do you mean?

Well, the two aluminum bodies I already made consist of 6 individual pieces of aluminum.
This HM body will be made using 2 larger pieces, one top and one bottom.

Well, it's not much, but it's a start.
I've gotten the top shelled out and it's ready to add stiffening ribs and assembly holes.
Need to do the same to the bottom.

I've gotten the bottom to a point where I can start adding assembly holes and stiffening ribs.

I've filled in the spaces where the software shelled too much.
Next step, do the same to the top.
I know, it doesn't look like much progress from the last pic, but see the neck pickup pocket?
I FOUGHT with the software for HOURS to get the neck pickup pocket separated from the spring retainer pocket...
