On a second note, must be your mill judging from the dirt.
Greg,
I can't take any credit for the design. It was designed by a guy named Dick Kostelnicek and published in the March 2012 Home Metal Shop Club newsletter.

That could be my mill but the white way cover proves it isn't. No way would I have white way covers. Too high maintenance. I do keep my mill about that clean though, only because it's so easy to clean compared to the lathe.

I already had the aluminum tubing I had gotten for free with a 3/8" thick wall so it was a no-brainer to build that one rather than reinvent the wheel.

All in good time Russ, all in good time. It's called foreplay.
