Well Travelled Tools

[islandmonkey]

My tool order from Isham has arrived in Zurich. I will probably pick them up next week from Zurich Airport after paying 7% tax to Swiss customs.

Here is an extract from the DB Schenker tracking site of the route my tools took:

The Tools

The tools arrived a couple of weeks ago now in a suprisingly small but very heavy carton. The carton was choca with packing material and hardware. A lot of the tools were packed inside the hollow C frame of the dimpler:

The contents of the box laid out cover a 6 x 3 EAA table of which I have made two:

I am going to mount the DRDT between the two EAA tables I have made so that the workpiece is flat and level supported on either side by the EAA tables. This I will make movable, probably on wheels:

Here are some other items that will need an eventual home:

I will probably make a couple of more tables to mount the drill press and the bandsaw as well as a vice which is not shown.
