Hi Kobus
Right out of the blocks another nice woodworking piece so nice to hear from you again. Love your work. The trip pics looked very interesting especially the shot with the mountains in the background. Looks like you could use some rain though !! Regards Ross |

Hi there all my MechMate friends, just to shout every now and then to say I am still alive and well.
My MechMate (# 6) is still going strong and since the first day never ever given me any problems. I only wish we could have a 5 day weekend and work the rest....so much to do and so little time. |

Well I had another one of those 1.8 meter x 900 mm tree trunk slices and some friend of a friend asked for a table in the same color, but with better looking legs, not as rough as the first one.
So I scratched in the pile of off-cuts and found something I could use. Mortises were cut with old Big Blue and the table flattened with the machine. This piece also had more cracks and in total 5 butterfly's were cut into it to keep it from falling apart. Now to do 4 smaller tables to put next to chairs. Ras Tafel.jpg |

Good Looking table !
How much does a slab like that cost you? I was looking at a compairable slab, here in Houston, and they wanted 900.00 . |

Hi Kobus,
What did you pay for the spindle? |
#1575
|
|||
|
|||
It's a 3kW Air cooled. Had good service from mine so far.
Thank's, pity it is my last slab like that. Cost ? priceless. I helped a chap in Sabie and we cut them. I think I paid him R400.00 each Lex, I paid $ 613.00 incl the inverter... FREE SHIPPING |

I had a friend visiting earlier tonight. He want to build a cnc for himself. Had a nice long chat. This made me go through this writeup....what a journey it was. BBBB is still with me. We moved house and it was taken apart more than a year ago. Still to find the perfect new spot for this AMAZING machine that never broke down since 2008.
Time to fire the big blue beast up again I think. |

Kobus, you were one of the builds I followed closely back in the day. I even spent some time trying to teach myself Afrikaans because of you, Gerald and a few others! Glad you are still around and kicking!

Hi Ted, yes still kicking although the kick at my age is not so violent anymore.
