Friend, you did a great job on this machine.
As for naming it, that is a very personal choice, and up to you. I named my hand-held scorpio minor "sharp little teeth", inspired by my pug and the size of the machine. The larger 3.5" machine I have in progress too I will name when the inspiration strikes me. Comitatus named their metal framed ballista Constantine, I believe. I know from some experience that soldiers sometimes name their weapons obscene names that may not be family friendly,
I'd like to see some pictures of the machine in progress, specifically how you created the various joints as you assembled the spring frame.
Are the washers welded steel pipe? Or machined?
