well i made my first project on the mill my friend needed a jig to drill holes in a banister he is building so i made a jig that has a 1in rod with a half in hole to drill through and a hole for a locating pin used a 1x2 tubing welded 1/4 in plate on the sides drilled the rod and finished at 37deg then bored a 1in hole at 37deg through the tubing and milled off all welds to make it smooth
i should have taken more time to clean before tig welding it as I couldn't make a clean weld
tell me what you think

It's interesting to me that your first project is something for a friend. Speaks volumes about who you are!

Nice job on the mill!

No worries about the welding. I don't point fingers cuz my welding sucks way more than anybody else I know.
