here's an update on whats been happening in between holidays overseas and all
after machining the boxes to size which i ended up doing on the lathe I drilled and bored out to press fit some bronze bearing bushes
I also drilled right through with a 13/64th drill so I could tap 6mm for a grease nipple. used a slot drill in the mill to give a flat surface to screw it up to
marked out where I had to slot for the guides
then milled them out
here is a phto of the finnished wheel set after turning down the wheels as well
not long now before it's back on the rails
