I emailed the order in that day, but my contact must have been on vacation, because I just heard back this morning.
I gave a PO#, so the machine shop order is now placed.

Machine shop says parts are complete! :D

I'm not sure I'll be able to get them for QC this weekend, but definitely will over the holidays.
I'll follow up this weekend with PMs/emails with amounts due.

With the caveat that I need to do the QC measurements of the bespoke parts and order the spherical bearings, I'll ship when I receive payment in full.

Parts are measured, kitted and ready to ship.
I have sent emails and PMs to buyers.

Thank you for your patience :) You'll get some great parts out of the effort! :-D
