Coming along nicely. I'm digging the B-E house. Maybe this will give you a little inspiration for soldering it from brass which is what I did before I had a mill. No build pictures but hopefully you can see what's what. http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...read.php?t=992

Thank you, that's pretty much what I had in mind.

I just looked in to what it would cost to make the base out of brass, and it would be a little out of my price range
But I have access to a welder, so I can probably use steel instead.
