The 4 link and Watts link tabs were laser cut cause they came in kits but I did all the fitment to the tubes by hand. You'd be surprised what you can do with good hole saws and good quality abrasives.

Big kudo's to you!!!
I understand and can appreciate your skills!
But you would also be suprised what you can do with an autocad .dxf file and a decent laser source.
I guess that I seem to lose touch a little, as I help manage a specialty tooling shop where I have contacts that I source tube-bending, and laser work with on a regular basis....But you still have to draw it, and send them a file, and a lot of times it is easier to do it on-the-fly!
Awesome build BTW!!!!
