Sword66, is great to get a build from a friendly "Canadian". Your very good at your narrative and detail. I am really interested in talking more with you on your build and compare notes? I am planning on a 4'x4' build with an area on the end for joinery and oblong sized wood.
Maybe we can trade emails to converse? Where are you located? I would love to see your unit.

Thanks and great build

 

Great job ! Nice to see robust designs. It would be nice to get news from your project, its precision, and possibly some videos.

 

hey man, great build.. any updates? im in the process of making a 10 x 5 too from c beam too, well bought and buying bits to do the build lol

 

thought id show you mine, took apart my ox and built a bigger one, just finished today.

i did find the c beam flexed so i had to add the brackets to cure that issue.

how did you get on with yours?
