[QUOTE="mygoggie, post: 1015864, member: 18916"] Not a lot of working done on the lathe project today. I was on site to inspect and sign off a structural job. Alas, it was done very poorly and needs to be redone. Seems that most skills are unobtainium in this country now. Well, the rest of the day was spent sorting this out with the contractor and the various parties involved in the mess. Anyway ... I finished the gearbox side cover to 320 grit.

I found that I have clean forgotten to sand these areas when I picked the cover up to prep it for spraying! :facepalm: [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/jjyNzzbN/IMG-20200915-192838.jpg[/IMG] Lastly I put some more filler down on the underside of the stand's apron and next to the hinges of the coolant chamber door.
