Hello Mudamaker,

I look forward to following along on your progress! Do post updates here on the forum for other to see your progress please. Many "just read" and don't comment so I'm confident there are at least a few of us sitting up to take notice of this topic.

As words of encouragement, I have had students in the past make both angle iron and wood versions of the Miller Falls style boring machine that worked just fine for them, though "clunky" and cumbersome in size. I'm sure if you get your hands on just basic metal working machines you could come up with something viable..Good luck!

Hi Joe,

I'm always around, yet only add my voice if of merit or use to someone. Happy New Year to you and yours Brother and I hope 2020 is a good building you for you!!!

Blessings,
