Hi Everyone!
I had recently a few ideas wearing my philosopher hat, so I decided to share my small discovery from bigbox store. I realise that the alignement is
the most troublesome building a small mill. I couldnt drill or mill accurate holes
with my ordinary tools. So I finde the slotted flat plate with holes. I used them as guide, and sliders. It fits a 3/8 rod. Try to finde a straight one, or drilling rod is better. Drill a few small holes for screws, clampit, markit, drill
the wood with bigger bits than 3/8 for less trouble. Align again, clamp, screw.
And you will have the axe. On the picture used pipes. Don't use them, they are not straight. Better cut wood for z axe holder. Ill try to post some pictures. Also I discovered other slotted plates in the big store, with 2 holes
about 1/2 inch. They need to be diled wery slightly, and here you go again.
They are a bit thinner, but sell about 78C Can. each. With this method you can build again all 3 axes. They come pretty tight, almost no movement, and
slide well. I didnt try for bigger machine or hevier weight to carry, but in my opinion it should work using 1/2 inch rod.
This is all for now, stay tuned for some pictures.
