Hi,
I haven't been lazy whilst the long break here.
A short summary jump to the actual standing:
the work on the monobloc has begun
an intermediate stand together with a bit of cardbord aided design
the monobloc body is ready and bending the hydraulic pipes begins
pipebending is done and the first cylinders of the second genereration are done.
some issues on the first generations forced my to do so.
30 kg ballast lead arrived
a new dimension of metal handling for me: 1,5mm stainless sheets. very stable and very hard for me and my little tools. but at least the first simple bucket is done
