Hello Clive. Your care and attention to the little details is being amply rewarded. The build is coming along beautifully. All credit to you. Well done and thank you for such an interesting and enjoyable series. 👏👏👍😀

Doing my best not to make a mistake as the project reaches its conclusion. Thanks for your feedback, Andrew!

@@Workshopfriend Ha ha, I was thinking the same. One slip and so much effort would go to waste. It can indeed be nerve wracking.
When I occasionally make “parts” for a friend I often make a spare just in case. I have a collection of these “spares” many of which have faults only known to me.

@@andrewdolinskiatcarpathianSuggests the spares would pass as acceptable to your customer!

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

@@Workshopfriend At a push, but i would feel disappointed. I am too critical with my own efforts.

Nice video. And really nice result on the machining.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating; there is a job waiting for it when it is finished.

Very clean and solid build. I love watching your explanations and your work. Very great 👍

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks for your encouraging feedback! It is helpful to know viewers preferences.

Excellent work, I always learn something watching your videos
On older milling machines I have found that backing off pressure on the feedscrew before locking the table will obviate that slight movement

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks for your feedback!
What you say about backing off makes sense. I will try that and check whether the gib needs a little adjustment.
