That last batch of pictures really showed off the effort you put into that machine, Vernon.

Yes there was a lot of effort but was very fun to build. Many times I would have to take time away from it to figure some things out to me that's was the real fun part. tilting the table was one section I had to really think about more than once but in the end got it just right. Thank you DIYer.

Very proffessional looking tool Vernon. Certainly the best looking one I have seen and building tools and machines is very rarely in my case about saving money but the satisfaction of doing it.

500 hours of enjoyment works out at just over 2 dollars an hour, cheaper than a burgher lol. Well done.
