Well had no luck finding a second hand baseplate, so I decided I would have to make a new one - had that thought at the start but being a lazy prick was hoping to find a used one. So I started today and managed to finish it this afternoon and thought I would have a go at zinc plating it as well.

First image shows the new plate roughed out with all the holes drilled and tapped.

Second pic is the plate in the zinc bath.

Will take another pic Sunday after the plate is dry.

Cheers
