Build Log - Herbert

[Neale]

I've bought some stuff from Chalon online, but I get things like relays, panel switches and LEDs, from Electric Center. They have the great advantage of having a branch near me, but there are lots of branches across the country. I'm sure that there are equivalents trading under other names - that one happens to suit.

I have accounts with RS components, Rapid and Chalon.
Those are the major players who I have used to purchase the items through plus a few from FleeBay (of course).
Where abouts are you located or would a PM be better to discuss the possibilities of a little meeting with a large note pad and something warming to drink?

[Neale]

I'm based in South Devon, which from your profile is a bit far (unless you fancy a break by the sea!). However, not sure if your interests lie in that direction but I shall be at the Bristol model engineering exhibition next week for all three days and I would be very happy to meet there. Otherwise, happy to communicate by email or whatever - send a pm if that suits.

Well South Devon sounds nice, but as I am already booked away for the next couple of weeks will have to give it a miss Neale!
So it looks like long distance emails;
Many of the bits have arrived now so it looks good.

Well I have spent the last week reviewing many members builds on here and I have to say I have a lot more knowledge than when I started this build.
The cabinet builds of @EddyCurrent, @RouterCNC, @m_c and the various comments made by @JazzCNC along with the main person responding to my thread @Neale.
I am away for a few weeks R&R so plan to create my schematics during this time.
Viso will be my software of choice so once I have something that people and comment/advise me on then it will be posted.
Once again reading others post has given me great information and thank you for sharing your builds.

Good luck with it, Ian - it's easy really once you have a few basics under your belt! And the folks on this forum are quick to pick up any errors - you won't be allowed to get away with anything...
