This is my first machines, and therefore my first build thread. I received my Rostock kit last weekend, and began the assembly promptly. I took pictures along the way, but did not stop to start this thread, I was too excited. So here are the pictures from it, since I have now completed the assembly and am having trouble with the printing (which I will show at the end).
- After stripping all the tape off (FINALLY!) I laid everything out. That is the cleanest the tabled looked throughout the whole process.
- Got the base mostly assembled.
- Lid's on and starting to run wires in the towers! I actually did not have too much trouble with this, thankfully.
- Towers up! They went in pretty smooth, no wiggling needed.
- I had a little helper building the top tower supports with me. Better than that invisible cat... ;-)
- And with the idler bearings...
- My tower-top balancing act!
- Set!
Ok! I'll come back to add more soon. That was all I could do on my lunch break!
