I have modified it - originally it had one heavy cast iron double pulley but it did not work with this machine setup.

DonInReno Report post Posted August 31, 2018 The cutting board is a great idea and the results are very good. The machine turned out exceptionally well - I like how you went about it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted August 31, 2018 The cutting board idea originally came from UWE. The board has a nice surface and just costs 6€ on my side of the pond. https://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/80233430/ a little bit more in the US but still a nice piece of wood for the money https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80233430/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt S Report post Posted August 31, 2018 Great work on the 45D, @Constabulary That's a useful looking stand. I'm looking at building something similar out of Dexion, since I don't have a welding machine at the moment. It's 40x40x2mm mild steel angle commonly used for industrial racking, which I'll brace well and bolt to a 30mm ply base and top. Do you think such a thing would be beefy enough for a Seiko LCW-8?

Constabulary Report post Posted September 2, 2018 I have no idea I never worked with Dexion angle profiles or the like. They would not be my 1st choice to be honest (for optical reasons). I would probably choose to sort of tubing push-fit system - if you know what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talisien Report post Posted November 5, 2022 Wow! What a strip down and rebuild!! It LIVES!!! *manic laughter* I have to confess to anxiety spikes. First was to read the location and weather conditions where you found these abandoned beasties. Nice rescue Second was the pile o bolts, springs and sundry. Wheew! Bless this modern age of pocket photography. If I ever stripped so far down my heart would be in my throat and images for a mile. I see what you mean about the size of the drive wheel. I had thought, from the manuals, that mine was smaller but your end on pic really makes it clear. Great work. Thanks for sharing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
