I picked up a stand that used to have a grinder on it or the upright only. Friend kept the upright and thru out the stand with wheels. I finally had the idea to make a stand on wheels to move the heavy JaHo jig. Had to cut off the back end of the metal stand , drill for new place for fixed wheels. Put a block in front for a larger rotating wheel set. Small wheels don’t move well on pads. 
 

Then put together a box for upper stand from some dirty ply I had to run thru the drum sander to clean up . Left this with the 80 grit sanding marks. Painted black to hide some bad spots. Top was of pine shelves   “Previously painted. 

 

Did not realize the Jaho jig was that large and heavy. 

Pretty cool.  Could we get a picture of the completed JaHo jig?  How heavy is it?

In my case it is the Sharp cross slide that is heavy. Will try to get more pics posted. Going to cut up a Willow Oak right now.

Great repurpose of a "cast-a-way". Love the ingenuity.

When I saw this last evening, it was on my phone. I didn't realize how large the cross slid was until I saw it on my PC screen

Don’t know the weight but I think it is heavier than my PM tail stock. So that would be over 46 lb. 

 

Rough boring head has draw bar in headstock. 
 

Shars cross slide 36#. Then the rotary drilling table at about 6#. I used a threaded white oak block to place a 3 inch piece of all thread 1 1/4 x 8 tpi. Faceplate will work well here also and may? Be more stable. 

I just watched their video, that thing is pretty cool!
