So, I'll muddle along as time, back and giddy-up allows. Motors on the way but the rest of this only exists in my head so far. I found an ultra compact nema23 motor mount, from Germany but they can't ship to the US because of covid-19 & refunded my card. No clue why that should matter unless we've blocked freight too. But that hasn't bothered China. Need a knee mill, preferably H&V switchable but I haven't tripped over one in my price range yet. That, and concerns over my 8" thick but non-reinforced garage floor when contemplating a 10,000 lb machine. Probably not going to happen on whats left of my watch. I'd like to bolt down both ends of the motor so we'll see how long it is when it arrives, it may be longer than this counterfeit BS-1 is wide. Brackets get flimsy then. Thanks Andy, Stay well and safe. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
