From my V block thread I spent a week using the horizontal shaper and have always admired them even though they are obsolete and have limited use.
Tubal Cain has done an interesting refurb on Utube, on one he was given but alas a little too large for me.This weeks ME mag starts an interesting post by Phillipp Bannik with a build start on a fully working benchtop model.A bit small But-
The body or column is fabricated from 4 pieces of 10thk plt 65w x 98dp x 88h
multiply x a factor of 1.5 and we could use a piece of thk wall RHS
100mm x 150mm x 140mm high.Working as a base this would produce
a possible nice working model.May make a start even though I only have a few details as yet.Redesign as we go and we will see.Hope to make a start soon
