think small
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. |

The model in it's final form. Valve stems, rear registration plate, GB sticker [printed here in my studio], rear mud flaps , hood straps, wiper, etc. are all in place now.

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)
