Thanks!

Good question concerning the front axle. There's a few reason. The first being that it was an old toy that I bought for $5 and the front axles and craddle had loads of play. The second reason was that I originally wanted to do a adjustable front axle, which I may still do before the end of the project.

The project is more complicated than it needs to be, but its been a good learning experience for future projects. I learnt the basics on running a lathe, and using the milling attachment for the mini lathe as well.
