Small step on the bottom so things lay flat. This took forever to part off on the horizontal bandsaw. Was at my buddies shop this afternoon to use his lathe. I've nicknamed his shop "D.B.'s Speed Shop".

Lingotto is a district of Turin, Italy, but the name is most associated with the Lingotto building on the Via Nizza, which once was a huge car factory, constructed by Fiat. Built from 1916 and opened in 1923, the design (by young architect Mattè Trucco) was unusual in that it had five floors, with raw materials going in at the ground floor, and cars built on a line that went up through the building.
