More than a capable machine ... it's a work of ART. One comment I have from my experience in fabricating and painting is my conversion from Rattle-Cans to and Air Brush. I can't begin to express the advantages of using an Air Brush, and also that converting "myself" to using it was absolutely painless. Having infinite control is one thing, but a major feature is that I can paint at my leisure rather than the timing limitations imposed by the type of propellant in the rattle-can. I talked with an Air Brush artist for advice on the equipment to buy. She advised me that for my use, just purchase a Harbor Freight quality system (Air Brush, compressor, etc.), but more important is the complete disassembly and cleaning of the Air Brush (the paint gun) after each use, which takes very little time and keeps the paint quality high. I now have three Air Brushes so I can switch to different colors on the fly. The conversion is not expensive, in fact if you discount the initial equipment purchase, it saves a ton of money since buying paint in containers is significantly cheaper than rattle-cans. One further item, try to buy the large capacity Air Brush reservoir to cut down on reloading time.

An air brush and paint gun are quite different. I use a HVLP gun for larger jobs. From my experience, what I know as an Air brush is very low volume. Good for artistic stuff like feathering.

@@WinkysWorkshopThat's what I thought initially. My perspective was it's for artists. The lady I visited showed me quite the opposite can be true. It's all in the gun you use. True you're not going to paint a car with it, but for machines like this project they can work fine. I really like mine. It's like the difference between a stick welder and a TIG.

Very good progress. As you said, a LOT of work to make the lower guide, but it will be worth it, so much better than a piece of wood. Dave.

I like it! The old timey music was a perfect ending to the video. Took me back 60 years in going by Subecks machine works in my old home town. The huge stable door would be open in the summer, a long rope stretched across the open door so you wouldn’t get in the way. But I remember it like it was yesterday, thanks for the trip down memory lane 😁

Fantastic job. Glad I watched this as I am just making a router circle cutting jig (the type where a round base plate rotates between 3 bearings on a sub base) and am not completely happy with the bearings being held eccentric by being clamped to an undersized bolt, using a nut and washer. Now I got to figure out how to use some eccentric bearing holders like yours. Thanks.

I'm two videos ahead so I can say, fantastic. But watch the next two, I made a couple changes

That was a lot of work on the guides, they turned out great. Don't do anything with the trunnion for a while, something will dawn on you, maybe a notch in the trunnion with the table tilted. How often would you want to take it off anyway? What kind of shafting were you able to get?

@WinkysWorkshop

I agree, I never take the table off so not a big deal. Thanks.

Winky, I was watching one of your videos awhile back and you mentioned that you used a product that retained gib adjusting screws, I believe it was a paste. I have tried to find that video so I could order some of that product. Would be so kind to provide me with what the name of that product is? Thanks

2 little things about that great job. First you listened to me and put something perfect between the baseball blades, you put a cylinder with 2 screws, perfect, perfect, Another thing, I don't see the larger bearing at the top, it could push the belt out. Danger. Danger.
