Thanks for your help
« on: 12.09. 2015 14:01 »
The articles, advice, friends that we make and banter on this site about painful experiences etc combine to become a major means of encouraging and informing people like me so that we keep chipping away at our projects. So I think it's only right to share with the forum a quick photo summary of a small project. Over the last 3 years I have collected from the 4 corners of the earth enough bits to finally be ready for a great summer. Here we go.   
But first its thanks to everyone. I probably read something you wrote and either found it helpful or caught a warning that saved me a heap of avoidable pain. So thanks again. (here's hoping I can upload a few shots and stay inside the site requirements)

 Nice one Gav, looking good. I hope you're able to get out and about with all the right sounds *smile*
  I notice your stand seems  to be laying back a bit further than what mine does, which is only just past vertical...?
