Thanks Matt.
Another day, another missing part(s)
The next step is to install the carridge ways and rails but I found that 2 of the six parts were missing. They are all cast metal, representing the beams (ways) that the carrige rails ride on. I made some quick measurments and found that the ways are 8X8 so I had that from the foundation parts. I then used some brass rod to fabricate the rail.
It's not exactly like the original parts but not a bad stand-in.
I painted the brass rod with some oily steelÂ
I then finished the floor planking. Next is the sawmill machinery.
