As ever I admire your skills, great work mate.

I also happy to see that Autocraft panel is a good fit as that's what I have to do on mine as well, along with about another God knows how many panels..

Good work mate
Ian

Cheers boys, still a long way off I reckon, I've had to go back to full time work instead of working for myself so the bank can loan me some cabbage for a house. So I can't just duck into the shed for a few hours when I have a half day an do a bit like I used to. So weekends only at this stage :(
