Default Cp3/4

I am just about to start making CP3/4. I take it that CP4 is a mirror of CP3? Can anyone confirm please.

Yes you are correct cp3 is a mirror of cp4. A little tip here use a marker pen and write top and bottom or right and left on them before you pick the welding torch up!

I'm working on these as well at the moment, good to know I did it right. So many of the parts in the book seem to need to be oppisite from each other but are labeled as such :S Drilling the holes in these is pretty hard, already snapped a few drill bits trying to make pilot holes...

If your having trouble drilling holes in steel heres a few tips. Use new drill bits for STEEL HSS, blunt or rusty bits may be ok for timber but steel needs to be cut in to. If you are using a variable speed pistol drill you need to run it slowly and this may sound silly but steel is hard and you need to push. If all else fails find a friendly person with a pillar drill.
