That looks great @Woundup! Which drill press did you get?
I keep adding airplane parts to my motorbike but it still doesn’t fly

Here it is - obviously made in China, but so are these Ali cases so I thought they would be compatible...

It was only around $80 and I'm quite impressed with the build quality considering the price. The plastic vice clamp that comes with it isn't as good though, so I made up a simple clamp out of some straight wood blocks which is very sturdy and allows me to hold it firmly when lowering the drill.

That’s a good setup! I’ve been drilling with my Dremel but need something more sturdy, I need to pick one of those up.

Seems to be more convenient with variable speed and a basis to fix a XY table or a small wrench.
Cons: there is few space left once you add a XY table.

Type D is loading..
Maybe some more patina on hands should be considered?
Of course a crown tube and adequate stem shortening are planned.
