I got a new long horizontal bar for my drafting machine. It is the full length of the drafting table (6 feet). In the picture I am diddling around because the old horizontal bar is of a different vintage and so some of the things don't fit without modification. The end caps needed to be trimmed a little; the little bits of wood are an adaptation needed to attach the end caps. I have also had to fill the back of the machine clamps with epoxy so that they will fit, hopefully, in the "t-slot" design of the more modern vintage. You can also see the classic green surface used on drafting machines. I will be affixing it to the drafting table using double sided tape ... a somewhat tricky job as the tape is very sticky and you want the surface to be perfectly smooth. I'm letting the green stuff settle a bit more and will likely attach it to the table tomorrow.
