Thanks Guys! I want my assembly area as clean as possible. I will make a catch tray under the lathe bench that will double as a
clean up bench...I am thinking a heavy duty drawer glide and a 3/4" piece of plywood should do the trick. This way all of the cutting, cleaning and fabricating will be off to the side. I am also thinking of a plexi guard mounted to the left side of the lathe to deflect any stray chips and metal shavings.

Thanks, I had a chance to view your work today. I like it very much, especially the Gordini project. And the 312PB [MFH] is stunning.

Now that I have finished the first few 330 LMB models [a total of 5] it was time to continue setting up the workbench. I have added some Lexan guards to the lathe setup [helps keep the chips away from my assembly mat]and a slide out tray for clean up tasks.





With the slide out tray all I need to do is move over to one side, open the drawer and adjust the neat Ikea light and I am cutting white metal. When not in use I just slide it out of the way....no need to clean up the area for the next task.



On to the next project, some 4 liter GTOs!

Peter, have you been getting my last few emails? I'm getting bounced by your tampabay address, usually after four or five days delay. It's ok, it wasn't anything important - I was more concerned that it mightn't be just me and that you could be missing stuff others too...

Sorry to contact you this way, butting into your thread here :o)
