CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :thumbup:

Following this thread in complete awe, not understanding a word but recognising the grit and determination to see it through, I am full of admiration for your efforts.

I'm looking forward to seeing the beast do more than one thing at once under the voodoo magic instructions that I am sure you will be able to incant. :beer:

Even more surprising the SWMBO has agreed (even actually suggested !) making a mini holiday in her motor caravan and dropping me off for the day - I feel quite faint :clap: Just need to arrange a farm sitter for a couple of days - any volunteers ?

Congratulations on having made the first swarf with the machine. Hopefully it will be all downhill from here. Getting the opportunity to spend the day with the machines, operator and documentation should help you imensley. :ddb:

I would offer to farm sit but they haven't finished building the bridge over the pond as yet. :lol: :lol:

Cheers :beer:

No Bridge Don - dig a tunnel :lol: (watch out for the mid Atlantic Ridge )

Farm sitter sorted, date set for two weeks time, so hopefully onwards and upwards.

Been experimenting putting a 'GoPro' video Camera inside the machine enclosure - really just mucking about trying to make sure it's in a relatively safe place and still get a reasonable shot:
