Thanks for the compliments guys.
Yeah, I had allot more time than I had anticipated in that swiss cheese block. Manually peck drilling 2.5" (63.5mm) deep with a small bit and counter-boring 64 holes was quiet a chore. 'Fun' went out the window on that one. Roughly 16 hours in total on that part.
I got started on the table today. It's only surface ground so far, with one pocket cut in the bottom. Hopefully I will finish that part up tomorrow. It's got two 28" (711mm) long slots for the linear rail that I will have to take my time on to get right, and lots of mounting holes, so I will be lucky if I do get it done I suppose. Here's a pic of progress so far.
