So I managed to get the back panel and part of the top panel cut out and shaped... at the cost of my feet being in a lot of pain, so I'm taking today as a recovery day, and tomorrow a shopping day as I need more M6 bolts and dowel nuts too. And as soon as the weather clears up again, I'm gonna get straight back onto armour cutting and shaping, then soldering stuff.

And I signed up to the Manchester event, but I've also said that if I can't make it, I will contact John via Facebook.
