Something usefull for planning

Here is a link for free downloadable graph paper. Not sure if your like me but I find it usefull to layout on graph paper whatever I am making for accurate measurements. All the graphs are adjustable and easy to use.

That should come in quite handy Mike. Here's another link that's quite useful....the site has a neat little downloadable drawing program, with tutorials and is relatively easy to use.

Yeah I downloaded that program and used it when I layed out my brackets for the DRO's on my lathe, my only complaint is I can't figure out how to print out the picture once you make something.

Hate to thread change but I can't PM on here.

Bill, the T-70 looks lovely - it's refreshing to actually see one of these kits finished. Can you pop it in the Completed section please?
