New 1/5 Kershaw Motor

[Overdriven]

^^^ lol @ Bondo. I agree with the bracing issues, a few simple changes to the side plates wouldve provided provisions for more bracing. I particularly like how the side plates are like a pedestal where they meet the bottom plate. Look at the left side under the motor pinion to see what I mean. Supposedly it's been through some tumbles though and has held up so far. Who knows how bad those tumbles were. I'm no expert in machining, but I'd say it was water jet cut also. The edges don't show that "machined" look and there are no signs of any additional operations performed to clean up the edges.

Edit: If anyone wants to post these images elsewhere in this or any other forum you have my permission. I didn't want to start a new thread so I just put it here.
