Thought we should finally add the locking toggle to the Module ends
As you can see here we have added the 110mm long piece of 20 x 20mm pine
The M5 x 50 bolts were recessed into the plywood as they were a bit short
We would recommend M5 x 60 or 65 for a better fit
Thanks must go to Lawence Boul for his comment at the convention that we should make it so the toggle can go righty tighty and in the latest designed batch the dowels have been shifted to the opposite sides to allow this
The toggle now tightens by 1/4 of a turn giving a very firm grip between the two end
Now to add some middles to all these ends.....
.......Have to lay down in the back seat to measure the maximum module length......
Must also think about building one or two BIG turning modules

I've just bought a Mini, so I'll be providing the short modules....
The laser will take 120cm comfortably, but not the size of the Paekakariki monsters width wise.
Looking forward to rx'ing a set of ends off cabbage. Now the hard part is deciding what to make. Too many ideas floating around the grey matter. One thought is something based around Morningside in the 80's. Need to start researching.

I was just thinking to myself what a clever chap he is for this innovation, when my eyes caught a friggin Tardis by the computer!I suppose you used a sonic screwdriver to assemble this unit. the mind positively boggles!!! HaHa! i'm actually a big fan of Dr Who. someone had a life sized version for sale on trademe a while back which concealed a bed.
The Tardis is a USB hub and whenever you plug a USB in it plays the sound and the blue led on top flashes
One of the little gems we brought home from the UK
oh thats so cool! my youngest would be playing with it continuously. he's hooked on the series after i introduced it to him a few years ago.
