That just looks way too good to use 

Graham

Very nice indeed!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm not sure if "proud" is the right description.......perhaps "relieved" is more like it.  There were times that I was unsure of the wisdom of this undertaking. But it turned out eventually. Now if I can just keep from crashing it! The thought of ramming a 3/4 boring bar or worse yet the turret into that chuck at 4000 rpm scares the you know what right out of me.

I was going to post some pics of the inside of the control cabinet and some more of the outside of the machine, but my camera broke. I'll post some more when I get a new one.

As to videos, I'll try to take some when its cutting metal for my next project. I just promised my first born to Travers for tooling. I think it's safe to say I'll have more in tooling than I have in the whole machine before too long.

Have a Happy New Year everybody!!!!

P.S. Hey Brett do you have a good usb camera driver? Mine is crashing mach when I try to use it.

I have the one I got from Arnie.

Brett

What a good looking machine you made there Monty! Waiting forward to some more photos AND videos

Rich,

I have a few parts off the mill that I will post over in the projects section after I get a working camera. I haven't built anything with the lathe yet. I'm still learning to use it. As soon as I have some parts to show off the lathe, I will.

Most of the stuff I have built so far is rather unimpressive compared to some of the great things I've seen you guys building. There have been a couple of assembly jigs, and machining fixtures. Nothing to brag about.

Here are the last of the pics for the lathe project.

This is the inside of the cabinet. I have to admit that I did not go overboard with neatness on this wiring job. I had a severe case of git er done syndrome.

Some more pics of the lathe, and my favorite corner of the shop in a rare state of cleanliness.

I think the wiring looks really nice, imo.  Mine kinda fell apart once I added the limit switches.    I need to go back in there and make them all neat again.
