Hi guys,

My poor old Hercus Model A has been dismantled and in storage for 3 years now due to moving house and me deciding that it will not be re-assembled until I have a decent stand to put it on. Well it has taken way longer than I hoped for but due to this virus pandemic and being sent home to work I now have a lot of extra time. So my lunch breaks have involved a lot of grinding and welding lately!

I am going for the 'spanning beam' style of stand, the lathe with sit up on a piece of 200mm x 100mm RHS on top of the drip tray. The frame is 50mm SHS. All pieces scavenged cheaply from local scrap yards, and the drip tray was done by a local sheet metal place for $80 which I thought was reasonable.

I am currently working on a drawer which will run on the ball bearing slides and it will have a shelf on the bottom. Will post some more pics as it progresses.
