Hi All
I’m a big fan of the site and forums but haven’t posted on here before. I’m planning on building my first machine shortly and have been avidly reading both the articles and all your posts. I’m posting this in the hope that any glaring problems will be identified and I’m willing to listen to any good suggestions!
So far this is what I’ve come up with:
