Mechano next year then Jonno.
Got Dillon (my 10 year old son) a mechano set. Will be building a digger with him next time he is round and i hope he likes it but will see.
I would have thought that this would be perfect for prototyping robots, more interesting than a digger, good practice too.

Good idea dave i actually didnt think of that. I have never done mechano before so will do a robot with Dillon after we build the Digger. Its got motors with too so looking forward to it.
After cutting hardox with my angle grinder i have discovered the best set of cutting discs for the job. I progressed up from Silverline which just didnt do diddly, bough some norton ones from Screwfix and they were pretty good but the best ones i have used are Eng-Weld cutting discs. they go through hardox with ease and last twice as long as norton and 30 times longer than silverline. so there you have my tip of the day :)
DOH just after buying some discs to cut hardox
We did it the easy way, we bought our hardox cut to size, weve now just got to weld it together.
So far weve only assembled the base but well get there.
Thanks for the tip, im on the norton ones aswell atm, but probably gonna need some more in the next few weeks.
I know who the new Doctor who will be :) but im contractly obliged to not tell anyone til its announced next week
