Vince,

 Looks like your doing a good job . Myself , I'd rather work on big stuff.
Yesterday had to make repair parts for a Manitowoc Crane.

Brett ,

No one said you had to write a book.    It took me half an hour to read it ,
and another 2 hours to read it to Britt . 
So , I guess you didn't work today . BUT it was nice to tell us all.   

Thanks.

Vince,
   grind some clearence on the shank behind the threads, but first run the tap as far as it will go, then grind and go easy.
I've done this a few times.

Vince,

Its only supported in the front. The front panel is .250 Alum plate. The bottom is tapered in about an inch above the base.
the bottom is attached to the back panels and the front panel which has the legs. I wanted enough room under to shove my shop vac and 5 gal pails out of the way.

Vince,

 Did you check out my Yamazen enclosure in my photobucket links.
The doors and the end panels are removable. No tools required. 
Is your Yamazen running on Mach?

Vince,

 sounds like you got enough equipment to start your own shop. Do you have a Yamazen mill also?
 How did you make out with the cribbage board?
