Looks good , after rereading the posts, I wonder if brass plates would work on the ways . Oil grooves and scraping they should last as well or better.

Thanks! I have already picked up the cast for the Gibb plates. I now just need to get them to size and flat. Finding a machine to make ~32" continuous cut.
 
Made some progress this weekend. Working on roughing out the Gibb Strips. A bit challenging as 34" continuous cuts are beyond all of my current machines. Next will be attempting to fly cut the important surfaces, build transfer screws for 5/8-13 and scraping the important side of the Gibb.

Cut Gibb one to length, just barely made it

Gibb one will need to be ripped lengthwise. I am thinking of building infeed and outfeed tables for the 4x6 saw as this thing is pretty heavy and the table is very flimsy.

Gibb 2 cut to length then milled off the radius on each side from extrusion. Gets me within .100 of final.

Roughed Gibb 2 sitting in its new home.

I have to say that I really love your machine - and all the great work you are putting into it!
 
To bring that beautiful tool back to life is a gift to humanity, well really cool anyway.
Keep the pics coming.
