The print shows dimensions to the cam gear bore; that is in my opinion a mistake - it really needs to be fit to the gears. I kept the .450 vertical dimension on the print and adjusted the 1.026 as required for a good gear mesh. I think I was about 3 to 4 thou over the stated dimension...

The nameplate is a nice touch, I plan to add one too. I thought about going to a trophy shop to see about a custom engraving or I also see places on the internet that offer that service too. The paint is KlassKote epoxy paint. Jim

Thanks all! Definitely a fun and challenging project. Jim

I finally finished Farm Boy #862. This was jumping into the deep end for me, this was my very first project with a new mill and lathe purchased as a retirement hobby. My background is in electronics, so I'm pretty happy as a clueless mechanical novice. Jim
