    You get some very interesting jobs Tom. Good plan to fix this problem. I like the metal saw. Made short work of cutting that metal plate to size. Cheers Nobby

    It's nice to put a face to the name so to speak. You really get some interesting projects.
  • Tom, that definitely looks great. It should be more than strong enough for the application. Great job
  • @eyuptony
    Great work, Tom, so far. I like these off the cuff videos. They test your brain working around what you've got. $8000 wow. Can you get a new complete unit for that. Cheers Tony
