Thanks! I'm more than familiar with that feeling too.
Did some stuff on the body today. Sides were cut out with paper templates and an assortment of tools.
And the base was cut with rabbets to match the width of the tilting table part. Wasn't sure if I should've made it a little oversize or not, but I just ended up making it match. I figure if the sides have to pull in a millimeter when clamping the table in place, it might pull the drum out of alignment a bit.
It's all just dry assembled here. I'll leave glueing it up for tomorrow. I've also managed to misplace the third 12mm bar for the table pivot, which I can't find anywhere. It's probably rolled under a bench or something.

I found the third bar. It was on the floor and buried in sawdust.

Went into the garage to measure a thing and ended up making this. It's a hole cutter, for cutting holes about the right size for the 47mm bearings. Still need to grind the toolbit, as well as buy a drill bit that's a good fit with the hole.
Thought I was being clever drilling the hole for the drill bit with the same drill, but it made a way oversized hole. I guess I didn't grind the bit very well!

I can buy a speed control up to 50v dc input from EBAY cheaper than I can buy the components in UK to make one.
