Projects
- Samthetechie and Harry are building repraps.
- The pledge to buy an expensive high-security bike chain has been dormant for a while so an alternative plan using whatever is lying around is in the works. AJP made a start on welding lengths of chain to a bit of scaffolding pole. Waiting for bigger welding rods.
