I also never work with a crowd when machining and assembling. Jobs done on club night meetings are a disaster, in my opinion. I am not in that photo, but they are 3 really good workmen who saved me a lot of time in the tear down. I am running my manufacturing company during weekdays and just fit this stuff in for favours and fun and as a hobby.
Machining and reassembly will be just me and the owner watching to learn.

Hey SAJ,
You are a good friend of these guys and IMO, they are lucky to have you as their friend and club member ! Good luck with this build and let us know how it comes out !
