> Gary, Customer Car Parking only up the drive ... LOL I haven't got a Helicopter pad..

> Glen, Yeah probably once I've had a play to rehone some rusty skills. Send dimensions if you like and I'll have a go if I can find suitable materials. I need some excuses to try things although I have some ideas already. Lathe skills I'm ok, Mill not so much but I'll have a practice on some plastic or Alum first.

> Matt, this is just a C1 although the mill adds a bit of weight, Two person easy and my workshop is in the garage so it was out of the wagon tailgate and onto the bench. One person can lift it, about 44 kg I think. The C4 is 115 kg from the specs. 2 people should easy handle that, just take it slow.

I have a reasonable pile of rescued metal for projects but will have to look at some other thicker material options. I have some ideas for a lightweight spider, a new Mirror cell design balance arm, dovetails, various knobs and a low profile adjustable guide scope mount. For starters ... then an OAG idea that has been percolating in my mind ...

Could keep me busy for a while ..
