Chapter 352

• Ben reviewed piece with the tech. Seeing one of his creation in three dimensions for the first time was always the best part of the design process for Ben. While his practical side was satisfied to resolve a technical issue there was also an artistic side that delighted in the process of bringing a concept to physical existence. Each new piece was a sculpture for him even if they were often not that pleasing to the eye.
• Ben took measurements to ensure the milling and polishing process produced a result that exactly matched the design specs. The smallest variance would have a significant impact in the performance of the piece so he had to make sure now, in the shop, that the prototype met his specs. It took him an hour of painstaking work to capture every dimension but finally he was satisfied. He shook the tech's hand and settled up his bill. This piece was much more expensive than his previous creations but it was also the largest one he'd made. Delighted with the end result he sent a text to his contact at STURN Enterprises.
• "Prototype ready for test bench. Can travel to Austin tomorrow."
