Here it is almost completed and it slides up and down the ways like no tomorrow and no wobble or any alignment problems.
Just a few spot I need to fill and some contour grinding.
I might just leave the welds as they are on the top and not grind them, nothing I cant do later.
Yep welding in sandals.

Personal protective equipment for the lathe.
Tig welders dont throw sparks but if something goes wrong they will.
It would kill me to get one stuck to the ways.
