Great project and I was amazed at the versatility of your skills!

CallMeAl:
Thanks everyone for the nice comments.  I'm glad that I could contribute some thing to the form after watching all the wonderful builds that have been presented here.

Anzaniste:  Yes the fly cutter was made from the plan in Harvey's book.  One the first tools I made.  I use it every once in a while when I need a wide cut.  I need to make a counter weight for when the arm is extended out too far. Also, I haven't found the perfect grind on the tool bit yet.  As to the speed at which the project progressed, you need to figure in the week and a half of building the pattern that I didn't show this was by far the most time consuming part.

Bernd: I mounted it on my grinder stand to share the work light and to save space.  It vibrates a little, but it is not the bad for how much it will be used.  I will experiment with the variable pulley to find a speed that lessens the vibration but works fast enough to actually get some metal removal.
