Great to hear from you again John. I have now completed my move to Tasmania and am in the process of reasssembling my own machine on a new, more rigid frame in between all the other jobs that go with a new house and garden. I'll be using the taught wires method inspired by yourself again to get it back in 'reasonable' alignment. I think there's what may be described as a wide margin between your construction methods and mine but I follow your progress with great interest.

That looks like a machine that people might wish to borrow or hire once you have it made and working.
