Excellent tutorial. It has me drawing up plans for a 130' (Well, technically 130'6", which is what 18" scales out to in HO Wink) As I type this. Well, at least until I can get home to my CAD programs. (AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor rule! Thank you free student licenses! Big Smile)

I certainly agree with your evaluation of the quality of the tutorial, Stein.  Wink   However, in order to view the excellent photos which accompany the piece, viewers would need to join the forum

 Oops, I didn't realize that - I am signed into a several different web sites with a "remember me" login.

 Sorry.

I certainly agree with your evaluation of the quality of the tutorial, Stein.  Wink   However, in order to view the excellent photos which accompany the piece, viewers would need to join the forum - that process is both simple and free.  The site is a smaller one, privately owned and operated, with no ads, although donations are always welcome.

 Hi --

 I happened upon this in my opinion excellent step-by-step tutorial for scratch building a turntable, and thought it was well worth bringing to the attention of the rest of you guys:
