Hi again, this weekend I managed to finish all the bases for the headstock, tailstock, tool rest and an extra horizontal drilling table I will add to the mix, some photos:

So far everything looks good:
There’s a lot of table saw work to be done the next weekend for the remaining parts, see you later!
