    Sadly, certain in our nation have tarnished the stars on our flag.

    Sorry Viking, that was not a polite remark. I wiped it.

    We Boere haven't fought any Vikings yet.
    Maybe another time, perhaps after we got Hoyte's boat to float ?
    What would you like to start with...? Age of Empires or Starcraft :D

    Fanie, We Newfoundlanders (Now Canadians) appreciate humor(as indicated by your simile face) as a sign of friendship, absolutely no offense taken. Historically as peoples I think we have met in battle, The Royal Newfoundland Regiment which was the army of The Country of Newfoundland before it joined Canada as a province fought along side the British in the Boer War. So now that we have that blemish in our history over with I think we should PARTY at the the launching of Hoyt's boat especially since he is providing the food and refreshments :D . Ooops ! Hoyt was I suppose to let that cat out of the bag :p

    Yes, our Creator sometimes does smile on us. I got a CNC milling machine from someone for free today which is unthinkable. Just have to go fetch. We are three friends who already have one each of the same, but we need the extra motors to make the y-axle wider. The machine weigh 800kg.

    And no, it's not for the boat :D It will cut the rack and pinion for the auto steer though, I did one on the smaller CNC machine but the Chinese one is a bit light in the butt. Also very nice if you can mill your own panels etc.

    I need a 90o fitting for the spindle... or am I pushing my luck here :rolleyes:
