hello all

The guy that built it is only a 20 min drive from me so I had already been to see him & talk about the machine before I bought the book, one of the reasons I felt this would be a good starting point was that I already had a lot of the materials needed for the construction so the initial cost would be quite low & I could make a start without having to outlay a lot of money. Did have to buy another sheet of MDF as some of the bit's I had were warped but that was down to me not storing them standing correctly. Sheet of 19mm was 14 squid so not a large outlay, have all the fastenings I will need plus the alluminium so I can do a fair bit & see how it goes before spending on more expensive items like electronics.
This is the actual machine that Phill built.
