Just a quick update. Been busy and work is about to kick in. The y gantry is almost finished, probably another 6 hours should see it done. The z is waiting on Michael Marino's machine becoming available and then we can machine the recesses in the plates.
Going to see if i can coax my mate to do the welding of the frame for me. So it is progress just a bit slow. Would be quicker if i made less mistakes!
