I agree.  That was the easy part.

Very nice Vince!  That BMS stock finished up nicely and should be fine for the spacers. Now we need to get Zee back working on his Monitor and off of the food and cookie thingy  ::)

Yeah sorry. Having a little trouble with motivation.

In the meantime I'm enjoying living through Vince and Bruce.

P.S. I'm the foodie. Chris is the cookie.  :lolb:

Yeah, mine has stalled too. Too many projects and not enough time. Been working on a new controller enclosure for the CNC mill.

Thanks Bill, Carl, Bruce and Achim for having a look.

At this rate I am going to finish before Carl and Bruce.  Better I slow down.

Very nice work. Now that you, Bruce and Zee have solved some initial issues, I can get a start on mine.
It's interesting to see three approaches to the same problem. I will freely appropriate from you guys.
Best,
Stan

If your intent is to be slower than me...you won't be in your shop for some time.  :Lol:

Bunch of studs made from 3mm threaded rod with nuts super-glued.



Used two of them next to two bolts to see the difference.



Studs look better.
