Video soon!
Since last video, I drilled holes for Y axis guides. Drilling with rotary turret was fun. I was like radial drilling machine. Squarness was set to Z axis flat guides using 1-2-3 blocks and machinist square - it's the best I could do.

I paid about $500 for my 49x9, I couldnot of built it for 3x that. good work. if it has a harmonic you may be able to fill some portions of it to dampen it.
Whole column is filled with compacted sand. Should work fine. New video soon.
sounds good.just dont let it absorb moisture and start rust growing...
