......on my ShopSmith and this is what I came up with.

Shopping list, if I remember correctly

2 x 2 pack Toilet bowl T-Bolts with washer and nut
4 x 5/16" Fender Washer
4 x 5/16" knobs (for tightening by hand)
10' stick unistrut (only needed 4' but this was my only option)
12 x 3/8" Fender Washers (Short 1 still on the top right)
8 x Unistrut Spring Nuts
4 x 3/8" x 3/4" bolts (Strut to Strut)
4 x 3/8" x 1*1/4 bolts (Vice to Strut)
4 x 3/8" Locks


I had to do some grinding on the 5/16" Fenders to make a t-bolt big enough and I will eventually get the right stuff but it holds and is rigid enough to drill horizontally so I don't have so much set up. Now to build a DC box that slides under and up the back to keep the area cleaner.

Next up, a rotary table mounted the same way.
