I think at this point of the project a workshop tour would be in order. A small contingent of MLU admirers to give advice on the build, to peruse through your workshop and toys in general and to just marvel at what we call here in NZ
" the number 8 wire " mentality. Thats what I love about this site, ordinary blokes with extraordinary skills.

Oh and I'll let you guy's work out what it will be. I can't say what type of buisiness my client has as that's his private concern. Dave, any one is welcome at my place anytime and you don't have to bring any tools. I've got enough for any visitors and plenty of room.
Colin.
