I decided to recycle an old instrument case into something for my various parallels, blocks and an old M&W V block. I am quite pleased with the outcome. I left the original green baize in the base and covered the rest in some black that I have.

Mine was second hand, don't think it had much use before me and it's probably only the 2nd or 3rd time I've used it in a few years.That looks like a Bosch router? Never had bother with 'slippage' on my identical set-up - I just make sure the lock-off cam is really tight, but maybe yours has had more use over the years than mine.
I do clamp it tight but seems to work loose with use

I've got a Jaguar 'Ingenium' diesel engine in the workshop at the moment and needed a stand to put it on so I can work on it. It didn't look happy sat on a work mate supported by an engine hoist so I made this:
The problem I now have is how to get this:
into it!
The hoist legs are 125mm high and the gap under the workbench is only 60mm!
All suggestions gratefully recieved!

Weld some legs onto the engine stand
Hi,
I was just happy to do a very simple woodturning job today having been allowed in the workshop by the weather. I'm assembling a cyclone extractor and need adapters because as expected hoses and cyclone don't match up.
Turned from a lump of local holly.
A tight fit into the top of the cyclone but a nice friction tapered fit for the hose allowing the adapter to remain in the cyclone whist the hose is removed.
It was a pleasure just to do this and I even polished the car; whoopee I've enjoyed myself today. More adapters yet to make another for the cyclone but I also need three more for dust extraction to three machines yet to be made; I feel a bit of aluminium Tig welding coming on when I add extraction to the machines.
Kind regards, Colin.

Thanks milkybars
I have the data plate on mine - from my crude fumblings and measuring I have them down as 18 DP (1.777 in between centres) - I still need to have a rummage and see if I have a set of gear cutters for that sizeIf there’s castors,take them off,and hit/jerk the legs under ,assuming the legs are under 60.
A peg press,for extruding a 20 diameter wooden dowel peg ,using a mallet,and striking a roughly hewn oak blank,customer wanted a quick job,I’ve also made them with interchangeable dies and mounted on a tripod,not sure what the die material was ,but it hardened and wasn’t brittle.

That would be right. If you look at the plate above, every combination has 64 teeth total. 64 teeth at 18 DP has a PCD of 64/18 = 3.555" or a pitch circle radius of 1.778", the same as your measured centre distance.
I think Boxford change gears are 18DP.
