Here's the link to Rick's web site, which has links to both construction pics and drawings of the jig, gib and bracket: http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/ty/7x10/vault/Lathes/7x10-7x12-Projects/TaperedSaddleGibs/ I was able to do this in an afternoon on a manual mill (the machining part). This part took a little longer: http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/ty/7x10/vault/Lathes/7x10-7x12-Projects/TaperedSaddleGibs/Bedways.html All in all, I'm very satisfied with the snugness and smoothness of the machine now. Much, much better than the gibs that came with the lathe.
