Sounds all good Dave. Best wishes for a successful outcome in the very near
future.

I am also a "returnee" and got hold of my masterchassis at Bracknell a couple of
weeks ago. Looking forward to using it.

I am very interested in the etched part folder you mention. Could you provide
details please?

Many thanks

Steve

time in my experience, it was a thoroughly enjoyable job and everything appears
square and true. Later today I shall fit the wheels and test the rods for free
running. I'm on a real learning curve here as the last of my early experiments
was 10-15 years ago, so I've treated this as 'year zero'. I'm taking small,
careful steps all along the way, which means I'm taking a good deal more time
over each stage than all you experienced boys probably do! Having the correct
equipment such as temperature controlled soldering kit and an etched part folder
makes a huge difference too, but the jig is the clincher!
