Been slow going on the stretch lately. I did make a motor mounting plate, and welded it in. I chose to make the motor not movable, so the exhaust can be built like a stock Simplex and mount to one of the engine mounting bolts. I also used a holesaw to make a hole for the front and rear oil drains, so there shouldn't be much mess when draining the oil.
I also profiled the bearing blocks on the belt sander, and I think they look much better now. Not so blocky, more streamlined.
The last picture is my new Tig welder that my wife bought me for Christmas! I can't wait to learn what I am doing with it. LOL
