    thanks for making me understand. what specs of fg you think is better.

    also what i understand about laminating steel is like make sandwich of steel and inside we laminate it with fiberglass and epoxy in each layer of steel. am i right ?

    Hi CHM - Each part is a stack of steel or aluminium parts. The layers are bonded together with epoxy. Forget about fibreglass or carbonfibre. Thats too hard and costly. Peter

    Hi CHM _ Design and build in steel. Take it a step at a time, do what you can with what you have and in the end you will have a machine. Peter

    Hi CFM - I can't tell you how to build your machine. You build it with technologies that you are comfortable with or something you want to experiment with. Just start somewhere and the road will become clearer. Peter
