I appreciate the links and advice. I just ordered a step down transformer to reduce my 124 volts mains to 110-115 ish volts and shipping was $6, and I forgot to order a few small parts as well. As for the chassis, I made a cad mode layout and eyeball edits and inches, and a length of 12 inches. I can buy a 1/8” thick 7”x12” aluminum plate for $6.99 each! All I have to do is go the local woodshopvsnf buy a plank of my favorite woof and I’ll be all set. I’d like to do ,y own finger joints and everything.
