Many Happy Returns to you @ IIS!
Sorry I can't indulge in any of your events in Oz from here in cloudy UK but I dream along with you in the small hours @ my computer.
I must admit that I'm no "poster" nor do I read many posts either but I like to peruse the projects and articles for snippets and tips as I endeavour to complete my 10" homebrewed Dob. I'm about 11 months into the project and in the first makeover, wrestling with my version of a poor man's Crayford; but I'm getting there

.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards from here in Worcester in the UK on a moonlit cloudy night that's about as bright as a normal, overcast day!
