Machine building

I've got all 3 motor brackets fitted now, and I was able to carry the machine over to the tub without too much trouble.

Attached all 3 motors, fired up LinuxCNC, worked straight away, great success.

Still need to:

• seal the tub
• bolt the machine to the tub
• take the motors back off and fit the proper "collars" to the ballscrews where they go through the BK12 bearings
• replace LinuxCNC with grblHal
• fit the spindle motor clamp
• get a VFD

Emma's lamp

Pieces glued together with 10mm dowel, and 2 coats of "yacht varnish" sprayed on.

I'll probably do at least 1 more coat of varnish.
