I gave up after making an arbor to swing a big saw blade, vise not tall enough to clear fixtures etc, so I said screw it and glued some bottom legs on a piece of 2x4 so I can clamp it to the table, and I have the simulator munching thru about 41 lines of gcode that is going to carve a crowned top at least a foot long on the width of the x4 tomorrow that will hold sandpaper at the right curve and do it the hard way starting with 80 grit. Who knows, the exercise might do my sugar some good, and parhaps the randomness will add to the illusion.

I have some I may as well use. No comment? I anyone else has some pix of how you did the camera mount, I could use a peek at them (URL) as perhaps you had a better idea than I do. Thanks everybody.
