Cheers
There is no coolant system on it but was gonna use an oil can to help keep it lubed.

I use one of these hand held manual, gravity fed, multi machine, universal coolant pumps.

So im hoping to to start cutting the steel at the weekend and im using the saturn plans and i was just wondering if there are any adjustments i should make from people's experience

If it is the latest book it should have the updates in and they are on here if you are stuck.

So while posting the above post the other night the baby stated crying so i didnt get around to finishing it

Any how i didn't just do i cut and leave it
I cut all the bottom rails and the uprights and started tacking them together the only one being the problem was the 78 degree angle but after a bit of grinding it was grand
