Very nice build.
Have been watching it with interest, I have a friend at work that used to work at Bucyrus Erie and actually machined parts for the 40H. He did the big turret gears. |

Nice, I always like these sort of progress photos showing machined parts.

Looks sharp! I've never been able to decide when drilling smaller holes in a part like that if it should be done before or after milling. If before, it's a deep hole and more opportunity for the bit to wander. If after, the ears might bend if too much pressure is applied also causing the bit to wander. Anyone got an opinion or am I worrying about nothing?

Yes, I have been working on the boom section and it is almost finished.
I would like to post some pics, but what is everybody doing for a host source? |

Looking forward to see your machine. If you chose Flickr you don't have to deal with ads and crap.

I use flicker.com as it's still free. There are other options, but this is the one that I use.

Looking great! Is the stick a solid piece? I'm guessing the boom is solid, too, just two pieces welded together at the bend?

Yes, Stick is solid and Boom is solid but welded at the bend. I wanted some weight in the boom to add some "backpressure" on the hydraulics to make the movements more realistic. I might end up having to remove some weight by "pocketing" the underside.
