amazing what can be done with a computer isn't it!

now that its mostly clean iv started loking at reassembly :)
not quite sure what to do about the broken base though, its too damaged to be repaired and original plan was to just use a 1/2'' flat plate instead,
problem is the only plate iv got is about 9mm thick which should do the job, but.. I did find this at work earlier..
moves things up to the right height, it would be the right length ( once the end was cut off) but doesn't really fit width wise, plus the mill column is only resting on 2 edges. I possibly could find some more metal to weld to it but not sure its worth the effort
so what ideas do you guys have?
flat plate puts the top of the column at 4ft high, im concerned it may be too low ( though im not that tall so maby not?)
