    Hi All,
    Just a quick Update, It's been a busy week with real life getting in the way.
    But all is not lost, I've pursuaded my secret weapon to come out of the dark ages and join the cool kidz on teh interwebz(tm).
    and I've no doubt He'll be along shortly to introduce himself, His Username is Woodentop and I'll let him introduce himself.

    He's been beavering away on a Bench design for the router, which will be portable and have space for storing stock.( well thats the plan)
    I must say, considering all I did, was say, "Chris make this, its gotta be this big, and moves" as I scribbled some Highly detailed schematics down on paper.
    Well , when I say highly detailed, they would be to a caveman..

    I have also Taken delivery of my Electrical enclosure, and Hitachi Omron X200 vfd. man its pretty, Don't know how to plug it in!, but It's pretty.
    I'll post pics as soon as I can.
    Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have some new windows to put in the gagrage to.

    The big new of the week is that the rest of my electronics have been ordered from CNCrouterparts so that the VFD and Box, Arn't Lonely.

    Lastly
    CNCBrain PC is Alive, but for some reason the bloody touch screen isn't working anymore, all I did was replace a hard drive, and install a 32bit windows 7 O/S on it.
    Its still working on the other HD which has 64bit Win7 on it ( shame it won't do for Mach3) It would have saved me all afternoon, well until about ten minutes before I started this post and all afternoon) trying my best not to make the monitor do an impression of superman out of the window......

    Did I tell you I like Hammers?

    On a plus , I'm still not smoking! Amazing considering!

    Anyway, ramble over, I'm going to bed, Pics and stuff soon.

    Rik.

    Keep it up Rik.

    I'm now a confirmed non-smoker of 3-weeks standing.

    The only thing that comes anywhere close to getting me puffing again is reading/listening to the bleedin anti-smoking-lobby nanny-state do-gooders control-freaks.... Who are a major part of why it took me so long to stop in the first place!!!
