John,
I've read a lot of posts that the metal cutting band saw is one of the favorite
tools for cutting the 4130.
I used two tools myself. The first a simple handheld hack saw for "strip" 4130
for the simple straight and L brackets etc.
All my shaped parts were water jet cut.

Hi Charles
Dick ordered that paint custom mixed from AC&S. That might be a hard color
for them to match with out a sample.
As for the Poly brush you can order it untinted. The quart p/n is 09-04110
and the Gallon p/n is 09-04210.
The Poly-tak is clear.
Dale
