Splendid stuff :)
nice and warm inside

looking at you Y axis, the rails look unsupported which may lead to some problems over such a large distance
they will be like guitar strings when you get going (maybe bass guitar strings )
If it turns into a problem it looks like a supported rails would fit right in there without to much heart ache

EDIT: oops, Jonathan beat me to it

Welcome local chap...

shooting him down in flames already? Don't listen to them, you got this far without em. It would cost you thousands in training to learn what you have so far. Just get on and enjoy what your doing and keep on learning

Hi, wellcome. Built in your living room - thats great. At least you wont have any rust problems. Reminds me a bit of a WI competition that my wife entered a few years ago. In answer to the question "what is the most useful item in your kitchen" she put " my husbands bandsaw". I had a machine for several years, unsupported rails, rack and pinion drive etc., but it worked well for me as I only cut mdf and ply. As Swarfing said just enjoy it. G.
