Thanks Dave (V45)& Kevin for looking.
That looks great Don!.....Can't wait to see it all together!

Dave
Ok Dave you have your wish. I have completed the Pillar Tool. The only thing missing is a plug for the motor. The motor has been run and I did drill some small holes, bigger hole seems to bog it do some be it cuts. This project has been a joy to build and learned alot along the way. I hope some of you have learned along with me and enjoyed this thread as much as I have. This will be a wonderful tool to use and have. OK some photos, they are not as good as I would of wish but its the best I can do.
 






I am adding these photo to this thread I am late making the drawers.







Thanks for looking and the encouragement.
I am sorry that some of these photos are sideways, I have them steraight in photobucket but they still rotate.

Beautiful tool Don,

I have a severe bout of tool and skill envy.

Best Regards

 :embarassed: Very, very nice. Now I have a little problem... self control (I never was very good at it especially when it comes to tools or castings) .... I could just.. just make a little bit .... I still have the drawings..... no one would notice .

:facepalm2: Don you are tempting me to start making my Xmas present that I am trying to forget all about so that it is a nice surprise on Christmas day

Get on with it then, Jo,

 :o I am trying to be good and Hugh you are encouraging me....I still have the S&P to finish. I might have the castings out for the next engine build :embarassed: (but they are not on the dining room table yet so that does not count ;)) And I am busy designing something much bigger  :whoohoo:

Maybe I should stop looking for other distractions to add to my life as I don't think I have the time for him  :LittleDevil:
