this weekends job has been to drill the holes for the tonearm,ive done the bodying up with the french polish and its had a week to harden up.
now the tonearm holes are done i can give it a final french polish then flatten back and compound.
i paid close attention to getting the mounting distance bang on,i used a strip of ply with 2 holes drilled to 225mm centers,1 hole goes over the spindle and the other holds a pencil,an arch was drawn and after deciding where the tonearm was going to sit i drilled a 22mm hole.
next i turned on the lathe a piece of round steel bar,22mm at one end and 19mm at the other(same o/d as the tonearm tube),the end was turned to leave for want of a better word a nipple with a center dot.
now im ready to drill the 3 holes for the tonearm mounting collar,first i put the round bar through the mounting collar with the 22mm end sticking out the bottom,this centers the collar in the 22mm plinth hole. next i loosen the grub screw on the collar so the round bar drops down through the hole and when its at the same height as the tt spindle i re tightened the collars grub screw to lock the bar in place.
then its just a case of slipping the ply strip back on the spindle and if all went well,which it did the nipple on the round bar sits in the other hole exactly 225mm away from the spindle center.to double check i measured from the spindle to the center dot on the nipple. all went well.
with that all done here's a few pics of it assembled.

Most probably the best looking plinth I've seen.
