Stagnated.
My feeble, weak brain can't work out how to attach the rear bellows.
I'm not too smart....
(Also working out if I can replace the base with a 4mm sheet of CF. reckon that'd drop at least half a kg in weight).

Hi Lachlan, did you work out how to fit the rear of the bellows to the rear standard?

Nup; not yet!
Also, since building this, the wood seems to have shrunk a bit, leaving the movements a bit slack.
Strange, as the wood is from a 50+ years old table. I thought that it would be stable by now.
So, I'm now faced with either resetting the base (runners etc), or redesigning/rebuilding it.
I'm thinking the latter, with carbon fibre to reduce weight.
Updates soon!

You pervert!!
I'm down Tuesday morning, heading Sth over the week.
Hope to do a quick visit to Secret Falls one of the days.
I'll let you know when I'm close to Slowbart and see if you're free.

I think he's got the newer, multi-coated version.
Makes bugger all difference with B&W unless you're shooting into the sun. Which I've never done.
And I think it's another kilo heavier. Suitable for dead lift practice!
