landman Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I find that it is easier to drill stuff straight with a template. It took several tries to get one on the net which would print the entire image. In this case a head gasket. Glued it to the top of the block and mounted the block in the milling attachment of my mini lathe. Then I started drilling. Three different size holes. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

landman Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Installed drawer slides under the shelf that holds the engine shop dio. It allows for better lighting for photos and better access to move/add stuff. By removing either end wall, it will also permit new angles for the camera.
