I started of building the side frames, they use 50x50x4mm SHS uprights and 40x40x2.5mm cross pieces, these were than filled with 1.6mm sheet. being all butt joints, keeping them square was easy.

The top rails and support channels were then drilled and tapped where required. The channel is used to hide / protect the motors and gear racks, more on that later.

Next the V rails were drilled

at that stage, i was pretty much over drilling holes but wasn't even half way through. Still had to drill and tap the sandwich plates between the v rails and top frame rail, another 120 holes to drill and 90 of those to tap. see the pics in the first post for details, Ther'ee be a closeup in a future post.
