That fluting on the barrel is wicked. Who did that? Have you tried grating cheese with it yet? Tenderize some steaks?

Oops! I forgot to also say.. That is VERY nice!!! I really like the barrel.
 
Re: Recent build

Nice work, but it negates the advantage of fluting. The barrel stiffness will now be the same as the smaller of the two diameters.

Fluting is to increase the stiffness to weight ratio.

Re: Recent build

Yeah, but it looks good and chicks dig it. So who cares about barrel stiffness?....Except maybe the chicks, if the barrel is not stiff enough they may not want to use it. Hmmmm
