Hi,

I now added the ways and build the base for the carriage. It consists of two plates welded together. We almost got mad while tapping 20 holes on this alone.

All need to do, is to get the right screws for the linear bearings.

I made an error on the height of the headstock, so I added some adapting pieces below the bearings.

I will soon update a few photos.
