It's coming along fine Rob.

Forging? I think mine is described more as roughsmithing. ;-) but as my old metalwork teacher used to say "All cold blacksmiths go to hell". I have one lathe I can "get too" and also a pillar drill, and a H mill if I am pushed, but I must admit some days I just have to do some engineering as an antidote to all the building work. Seeing the workshop rising out of the ashes is rewarding in itself, but it isn't what I really want to do........ But at least when it is done it will be warm, dry, and much less embarrassing.

Hi Rob , good to see you back on the project. with the keyway attachment how long does it take to cut the keyway ? , I mean is it a very high number of really slight cuts or can it take a decent cut per stroke ? Another do dad well worth making I dare say
.... more on my to do one day list 
Cheers Mick

Hi Mick , total time including setup is about 5 to 10 minutes , It really is quick once the slotter is bolted to the slide , I do not need to remove the top slide,i just did for photo clarity . Put it this way its quicker/cheaper than a broach , also dose tapers , I have used it to do tapered splines for a steering wheel boss , also dial graduations etc
Ed , there well worth the time to make one , good tool project too
, if you need drawings lets no .Cheers Lads

I'd like the drawings if you have them available.
Thanks,
