Your work and depth there of has earned them views. Theres serious business going on in here. ahaha
 
I am still waiting on the Stainless Tower piece. So while stalled we will clean all of the parts and paint what we can. Hope it doesn't take much longer. I need it to do the "Pivot Block" as they are a fitted assembly.

When I had to wait for the grease seals for my toolpost grinder, it seemed like a month!

----Really nice project, Bill... Really nice.

I hope it won't be that long Ray. They said by Wednesday. There is still plenty to do till they get here. I will probably make the Adjustment screws and bars today. I can also make the large binder for the tower. There are many small things to do. It's coming together nicely.

It's funny how projects always seem to go... When you're in the middle of it, it seems like there is no end -and it feels that way right up to the last moment and all the sudden, bingo... It's done. Right at that time, it makes you feel happy but also a little sad because now you need to think of your next project.

The upper pivot adjuster is finished. This pair of adjusters (upper and lower) allows you to tweak the height of the wheel if needed when a turn of the raising thread will be too much. I'm not quite sure how I will feel when this one is done Ray. It sure has had its moments.

I like the knobs. And the camera caught the light, just right, on the one.

Still think you'll wish you had softened the sharp corners on the spindle clamps.
