Thanks Billy, I hope to have the main part done by the middle of next week. Then I'll start the motor and try and figure out how to mount it.

I guess I should put up a few pictures of what I started with. These were taken by Benny before I went to get it.

The guy did tell me that everything was still shiny when he put it in the open car port.

Paul,
The drill press and lights are looking great and I like your horizontal milling machine. What model is it? Now a newby question. How many outboard arbor supports does a mill need? I see what looks like three in one of the light photos.

I liked the color your selected for the drill press so much I went and bought a quart at Home Cheapo. Will use it on a project I am working on to see how it looks in person.

Mine is a K & T Milwaukee 2CH and it depends on what your doing. It comes with three one for the end and one that goes on the inside of the cutter. You would only use it to make heaver cuts, I don't know if-n I'll ever use it but just in case I have it.

One of the ones in the picture is a extra one needs paint and a site oil glass.

Didn't get a lot done today but at least I did do something. I got the drive pulleys back together and mounted.

I Also got the Back Gear Cam cleaned up and installed.

Got the power feed done except the main shaft.

Had to make a new set screw for the cam lock.

Except for 2 bolts the table lift is done.
