"DeusEx"

[mocha]

STILL awaiting my first delivery of bits, which are not due to arrive until the end of the month... :-(

I found a friend of a friend who fabricates for a living (and builds race cars in his spare time) and with some back scratching for a mutual 3rd friend he's agreed to look at the design from a fabbing point of view, the good news is that not only did he like what he saw, he's going to weld it for me, he can probably find me a good price for the metals too.

There's a couple of small changes he suggested to the way two of the corners are designed, in order to make it easier to weld up squarely, but otherwise it's looking good.

At the moment, I have one guy who will do the machining of the steel parts, another guy who will weld it all together, an assortment of advisors spread over 3 continents and a number of suppliers who are in the process of "supplying". One supplier who has let me down badly and one supplier who has been an absolute star and a number that are just dragging their small oriental feet!

LOL, This is turning into a international project management tutorial rather than a CNC build! :)
