Hey Merle, how's it going?

Well, this thing is a start. All-in-all, it doesn't look bad but there's a couple modifications it needs. First project is to devise a reverse tumbler gear setup for the feed-screw. What they have now is poorly designed and cumbersome to say the least. After that, the next project is to fit the thing with a small 3-phase motor and a VFD so I can eliminate swapping belts when I think a different speed is called for.
