Good luck with that Graham, it’s very satisfying to cast your own blanks, and to tell others, “yep, I done that.” :banana::banana:

The most important tool in your shop will be your record-keeping notebook. If you haven't started one, now is the time.Keep close track of your steps and details. (That helps you make the same silly mistake over and over again!) Good luck with the maiden voyage.
