Flyon,
You rock I would love to take a look at your machine and give you a helping hand. Send an email to "sendittonick-AT-verizon.net" replace -AT- with @

My weekends are Friday and Saturday, so let me know when I could come over and help/look
For what ever machine I build eventually I was thinking of useing some old kitchen cabinets as the table with build in storage. Might have to reinforce the corners to hold the weight but they could probably be found cheep and in millions of different configurations.
