No worries, Artic = Articulated i.e it bends in the middle

I found this at my local scrap metal merchants, 5 meters of 50mm ally bar and a 2.5 meter piece of 20x60, I picked them up for 50€



Not sure what grade it is but it machines lovely, started roughing out the first motor mount:







Motor is a good fit:



Not bad for an old Colchester student lathe which incidentally before starting my first wheel for this project was the last lathe I used at school over 20 years ago!

Hope to get more done over the weekend.
