It has been a busy month working my way through 5 pages of the plans manufacturing parts. It is relatively easy going and rewarding, however when I first tried to work out how I was going to hold it all straight while I drilled the pilot holes did my head in. I tried caffeine but it wasn't enough! Eventually I nailed some wooden blocks to my bench with centre lines and corners marked on the bench and a bunch of clamps made it all come together. The match drilled kits would save a bunch of time compared to doing it the hard way.

This is how I started, but quickly needed a rethink!
