Hi

Nice parts! Silver soldering is fun, but I should do it more often to learn it better. I think I have only tried on stainless once, and it was hard to get the flux and solder to wet the parts properly.

I like the pictures of the parts for the gears. I have a WM280, and the solution on your Emco seems like it could be better when swapping gears. Maybe I should adapt or make something similar. I have to kind of hold all the parts in the correct position while tightening on my lathe. Would be nice if the axle could stay in place, but still slide up and down, while assembling.
