I have finally started this project. Not sure how long it will take...I am deesigning it as I go...lol

Wanted to use a Mill Stand, as they are very solid ( for a bandsaw ) and saves me making one from scratch.

I took the Bandsaw off the base so I could turn it over and custom make the frame to fit properly, maily becuase of the the (annoying ) 5° splayed out angle on all of the sides.
I will make bits and weld them in place as I go.

I have had a new coolant pump for years, waiting for a new stand, so that will sit inside the stand. Might put it on wheels as well.

First job was to grind cutouts into both ~4mm plates, so they sat down on the lip. They are that wide beacause that is how wide the plate I had was.....lol
