Talking Just bought the plans - Andover, MA

Hello to everyone.

What a great place to learn! I just paid for the .pdf plan set and am now anxiously awaiting its arrival. Mine will likely be a slow build, but I think it will make a good winter garage project. Not sure what size just yet, but probably a machine capable of handling at least a 4x8' sheet of plywood etc.

Next up will probably buy the laser cut/bent parts. I think this will be fun to assemble! I will try to share photos of my progress, though not sure when I will get strated in earnest. Have to clear a spot in the garage for starters!

Regards,

Ben

welcome

Hi Ben and Miguel,

Welcome if you need help do some searching, and if you still need help just ask there are plenty of helpful people here that are a great resource.

I started the electronics first you still have room to move and its a big cost to get out of the way, that table takes up plenty of room

Happy building, Andrew

P.S. Winter, if you don't know its going onto summer for us people on the right side of the globe

Hey! I alway thought that the right side of the earth is were winter never show!

Welcome!

I do agree with Andrew, the steel is the least cost of the whole build, even if you cost in the welder...
