Save Yourselves! The mill is nearing completion!

I have the mill painted and assembled, and am nearing the end.  Before I painted the mill, I rebuilt the sides of the base.  The ones that I had were from before I figured out how to make the bolts fit, and was trying to get away with drilling holes.  

On top is the original.  on the bottom is the new version.  The cutouts are for a power switch and an outlet.  

I painted the mill with latex wall paint. because it was what I had on hand.  Latex paint might not have been the best choice, because it is soft, and already is showing signs of damage from tools and clamps.   Part of this might be from my habit of using any available flat surface as a workbench, and not putting away the tools I am using until after I used them for the third last time.  

The shims are used to hold the trucks closer to the track and to compensate for any miss alignment in the wheels.  Now I *simply*, need to  wire the mill and work out the bugs with my wiring.
