Thanks for all the kind words Folks!!

Yeah Bob,, that gun vice is AWESOME for holding stocks to work on for all kinds of detail work/mesurements/ marking ect. The little drill press is working fine now on the inletting,, I have learned to drill several holes to make the router bit,s job much easyer!!

I also figured out how to adjust the cross slide vice to take out all the play it had before. I am searching for a powerfull router now as that is the way to go with a router table for the huge 1 1/4" top cut for the main tube. I have learned so many little tricks on this first stock. Once I get set up just a little better I should easily be able to cut out & inlet several stocks in a day!!

Im keeping at it!! Tim.
