    That is Nice Man, I'm a Huge Fan of well made, Shop Made tools. Any FOOL can go to harbor Freight, and start laying down $100 bills for Mediocre at best tools, But it takes a real Craftsman to Build a finely honed piece of Shop made tooling! I look forward to following your build. Please post lot's more pictures!
    An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all, and Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

    Very Nice!!! I can't believe you did that in a month! Did you have the steel ground for you, or pick it up stock? Nice idea with using the mini lathe and mill headstocks. I want to build one a lot like it.
