El Beast - Initial design phase, comments and critique welcomed!

Want to give a big thumbs up to machine building systems - extrusion arrived already and it was incredibly well packed (much better than the misumi ones were!) with a good wrapping of cardboard and wooden end blocks.

Quick pic comparing it to current machine, it's a beasty extrusion to be sure - thanks for prompting me to "upgrade", think it'll be worth it.

Ooooh, that is even more chunky than I thought it would be.

Looks good. Can't wait to see this beast making some chips.
