Wow,
I'm humbled to read that I've been an inspiration to others with my 'over-the-top' mill conversion!
I'm just a guy who can't leave things alone once I get started tinkering with them.
Anyway, very nice looking work on the lathe & I really like your take on the chip pan for the mill ..
I've discovered that once wet, chips do tend to stick so I've plumbed a wash down hose to clean up after I finish a job.
Your chip pan would be absolutely PERFECT for that kind of application .. keep up the good work!

Yeah dude your machine build really lit a fire in me to get my machine finished, jhchoppers the same, what set all of this off was your belt drive conversion, so easy to do!
My machine used to max out at 1200rpm now I get about 7500rpm and she loves Ali.
I have also followed suit with your auger idea, I have it all bolted up just need to mount the motor and try it, I sure hope it works.
So yeah thaks GD, your machine is awesome!
