JY,
I'm kind of embarassed to say this but I forgot all about that post. I had wanted to scratch build the Clishay. This was before I got involved with Mad Modder here. I got

and started so many projects that I can't recall which ones were started and which are sitting on a shelf hidding from me. I just recently got bit by the CNC router table bug again

and want to build one of those.
But I have collected some alternative plans and ideas for the Clishay.
Check your PM.
Bernd
