Old bed mill, 1985 matsuura

Yet another build log to look forward to: cool:.

Any chance you could do me a pic of the bracket I’m guessing you made that supports the keys/mouse tray, please bud. I also had the same kind of idea for my little setup, just curious as to how yours work and so on :).

EDIT: Nice job on that pendant by the way

The sketch wasn't followed faithfully, but the principle is the same. There are cotter pins each side holding the tray to the bracket, not shown in the sketch. The tray slides out and then the front of the tray drops down, the tray hitting the cross piece between the brackets is how I limited the angle of the tray. Very simple but seems to work OK.

I was looking for a server keyboard with a touch pad, I use a laptop nearly all the time so I am used to touchpads. All I could get[cheap] was the compact cherry keyboard in the pic above. Some place were flogging off their stock of Cherry keyboards on ebay, the white ones were £2, be rude not to buy one at that price;-). An infra red mouse seems to work fine on the shelf.
