I made it out to the garage today, which I did not think would happen as I have been pretty dam sick for a week. Also got in a little O.T. at work today, got a phone call on my way to the store to pick up some cough drops and I was close so I went in and did a 20 minute inspection/repair and got two hours of O.T.
Here is the tool of choice today.......oh, and I cut the square tube in half.

This is for 6, I used my silver pencil......the red marker shit on me today.......I makred the portion of the now angle iron to be cut away.

After I finished my cut I had to find the center of the piece for the head stock to mount to.......it needs to be center as the table will have a center line that this will have to match. The entire build will be based off of the center line. I used the 2x4's just a reference point and the reflection of the lazer for the picture.

A hole will be drilled where the lines intersect and the head stock will be mounted at the location. I still need to machine the head and the centering cones.

Here it is on the table with the base plate, which I still need to build.

In case anyone was wondering here are what the four holes in the back of the upright are for.

Changed tools as I ran out of the other.
