Didn't get much done on the Array. DID make the center post, but have not attached it to the frame as yet; wanna make an adjustment to what I did before I go there.

More on Array, and full of poo!
Yup quick n dirty mill work. Spec is called 'close enough'. You can see the solid axle in this pic. That ain't gonna bend under this sort of weight. I milled a couple of flats on the pieces intended to weld. Made fitup easier for certain, dunno if thats a benefit to strength or not. … Continue reading More on Array, and full of poo!

No, it wasn't much, but it was significantly better than I've seen in many a moon (and every little bit counts in this day and age) And, since I've … Continue reading A Thank YOU
