@ Jazz..(or Jonathan if you Know) Flat bar say 2" wide ontop of what and fixed how??

Jazz has said previously on this forum:

bed made from 40x16 strips spaced 10mm apart to create Tslots.

But I recall him advising that greater than 16mm thick would have been better, simply for the extra strength and I guess you can surface it more times.

Yes thats correct but more for Strength than surfacing, I've only had to surface mine 1 time and that was only 0.3mm ish.?

Ok a little more progress today.


Now that all the alignment has been completed the Left and Right gantry supports have now been seperated.

Thanks G, Luckily its a three car garage and thats, just 1 third, there is an in progress 1932 V8 HotRod taking another third, and a Half spray booth taking up half the other third but luckily they are 21' deep so there is more space than first appears..

Sounds like an interesting garage set-up. What is the hot-rod? Even with your garage looking so full it is 20x tidier than mine. G.

It could always do with being bigger and tidier..LOL, Its a 1932 Ford 5 Window on a 1940 Chassis, or will be, it should look a little like this..
