Thanks for the positive input.

I sent you a mail or the such Andy which I guess you didn't recieve 'cos it had the explaination to the 127 thing; the link above is technically correct but you need to take it one step further - as the loopback address or the address of the local machine it could be loosely defined as "home"...

Right - off to finish the framehead and get the chassis into 3 dimentions...

Default build the chassis step by step

Hello Airhead,



Unless you buy the good flat pack, you better cut the tubes when you need them.
Start off with a truly flat table and take your time to draw the plan as good as you can. Then you start building. Once the general structure is there, the tolerances are "self explaining". Too long and it won't fit, too short and it's not possible to weld.
Good luck with your build.
