Sweet! Looks like a great start your project. What kind of equipment are you using? Looks like some endmill marks in that stopcock base...

I machined the fuel valve base and the bore in the lower triple on a 5-axis cnc mill, and the stem work on a manual lathe.

If you build a cafe and get rid of the rear grab handle (seat left side on the back) let me know.
