Look forward to seeing the lathe work, will you be video'iiinngg it as you machine it?

OK, as requested here is a video of making a fixture, setting up, and then line boring the spindle housing . . .

Still lots to do but another step closer.

I've decided to do another video, which takes much longer to put together so let me know if this is better than posting pictures.

In this video I attempt to align the 4 rails flat and parallel to each other. They still need lateral spacing/alignment but that will be the next step when it is assembled into the Y axis and they are trammed in. Here are the edited highlights:

great work, with the level of attention you are paying to the details this is going to be a very impressive machine at the end!

Cheers for the encouragement Clive, Desertboy, Zeeflyboy.

Next up will be re-machining another 1 mm off the Y axis pockets to correct the small CAD error I mentioned earlier, then assembly/alignment of the Z and Y axis. Hopefully no more surprises!
