I marked out basic dimensions on the backing foil of the aluminium

Cutting with the Dremel was actually not the best. It can do it for small bits but found on longer cuts the disk jammed. Used the hacksaw for most of it and then polished it off.

Loving the pillar drill I got for Christmas. Went through it like a hot knife through butter. Needed some holes to start sawing from. These slots will house the wheels ultimately. Wider than necessary but if I need more traction at least I have options.

This is as far as I got today. Not the prettiest bit of metal, as my workmanship on first cuts was lacking some finesse. I need to saw out the other wheel slot. Then I will check dimensions once I have the motors etc. before drilling. All in CAD so far and reality may be different.

Hopefully parts arrive this week. So next weekend I can make that slot and then start laying it up. Moo chance this week as away on business trip.
