Lets hope nothing does go horribly wrong. Just be prepared for lots of, slightly wrong, or as I prefer, nearly right.  |

In answer to hornet6 question I'm going to attempt a manky style frame, I like the simplicity of it  . This has been so long in the planning I'm not going to rush at this. I'm a semi skilled cabinet maker and you know what the main saying is, measure twice cut once and I still get that bit wrong, so I don't know what's going to happen in this build but you lot will see the lot, warts 'n' all . I'm getting butterflies thinking about it. So I'm hoping you lot will calm me down and help me hold it all together  . |

Yep. Did you get the head off ? If not it might help if you remove the head studs (using two nuts locked together). Makes cleaning the block face easier later anyway. |
