I just remembered I have some photo's to inspire you.

I made a very simple wood pattern for the bracket casting, and all the machining was done on the horizontal milling machine including facing the top of the overarm to accept the bracket.

The big advantage of this setup is that you can very quickly set up to do horizontal work by pulling the overarm out, without needing to disturb the vertical head setup.

Also if the overarm was pushed right back, the original gear driven vertical head could still be fitted for very heavy work.
