I started my ramblings almost one year ago in this thread: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50256
Since then I have made some decisions, cut some steel, and bought some stuff, and I will make this a new project thread. Still don't hope for very frequent updates. This is going to take time!
Steel parts will only be spot welded, to avoid stress releiving, and then filled with epoxy/granite.
I got the 20mm rails and all 12 carriages from Marchant Dice today. That was the first cash spent:-)
