I have now watched most of those, without seeing the kit parts I have. Similar, but nowhere near identical. More nicely carved parts IMO, but thats so no standoffs are needed, the motor mount is all of it in one piece with bolts. The Z mount in particular is a nice bit of swiss cheeseing. I'll get some pix as it goes together, when I get to that stage. At this stage, I can say that the x screws nut has been ground away on what I assume is the top, for clearance, but no clue if I have to take the Y saddle to the small mill and make/deepen the pocket where the body of the nut lays in the Y saddle. Thats not a problem as the toy mill can do that, and a heck of a lot neater job than the videos of one kit showed where he tried to use a drill press & finish with a dremel. Nobody but me will ever see it, but :) [huge snip] Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
