Thanks for the comments!

Yes, I did move along quickly after the casting was drilled and bushed. The rest of the parts were pretty straight forward except the cross slide/reciprocating rod clamp. I have gotten my shop and tooling to a point and learned enough, had enough blunders, and watched enough other peoples methods and projects on the forum that I can I do the easy stuff quickly! :D

Here are a couple of shots of the complete assembly except for the table I have made a pattern for but have yet to cast.

I have take the time to run the reciprocating mechanism in and it operates very smoothly. Here is a test run with my two speed drill. I quite pleased with how it works.

It will never operate as fast as it does in the 2nd half of the video, but I had to hot rod it a little! :)

Now to make the table, mount it, and hook up the little motor I found at an estate sale.

Thanks for viewing.

that looks great, now what you need to do is sent your pattern to the uk as it is nice and ligt as compaired to a casting and one of the members who does castings over hear can nock some up and sell them to all us mayhemmers over hear saves it laying around your workshop doing nothing or if you have plans for it the pattern could be made hear.

keep up the good work
