Yup. I just like the challenge of building my own stuff. I had a Southbend lathe back in the 70's. 17" throw 8' bed. I just need a little one to put in the corner and use from time to time. Looks like I should do more research to find best bang for the buck. I have a cnc router for my sign shop. It's designed to cut wood, but if you crank the speed and RPM's way down it "L do aluminum. Made this aluminum combination shock mount and 4 link stiffener to bolt under the modular aluminum 9" on my 70 Z-28. Still needs the edges rounded and polished. Got the right side bracket done. I get a kick out of making odd parts like this.
