Oh man I had to take a second ay what I wrote. You said the number of 00-80 nuts was 30 in the truck photo.
I counted 32 each 00-80 nuts bolts and washers. Hence 32 00 80..... :-[

Your turntable is looking amazing! I used jigs (several) for drilling breadloaf when I had my trim business to keep the bit from wandering off track. Great tools make or break a project.

How's the new knee doing?

The knee is good.
Thanks for asking.
I'm amazed how sensitive it is to weather.
Boggles my logical mind.
Better than the original one.
I've been bucking and splitting firewood the last two weeks

I absentmindedly forgot I needed a ring rail for the turn table...
So I made a rail bender out of scraps.
Luckily I had aluminum rail (code 250).
At least I'm making progress.

Beautiful work.  Now I know where to go if I need a jig built.
