    Default more progress.....

    OK.....I spent a bit of time getting a few more things ordered from suppliers....a couple of acme nuts are on their way. picked up a couple of sprockets and a chain to drive the vertical drive mechanism. spent a bit of time this weekend getting one side of the vertical wind gear connected. The tolerances are pretty minimal so I cant really test the efficiency of the winding unit until I have the other side fixed in place and have the chain connecting the two acme threads installed. I had a go at the main base. Now that moved long at a cracking pace.
    ...................sorry there isn't any large log being cut up at the present...but hopefully these construction shots will make way for some nice milling images in due course.......
