Welcome to the Forum Dan, that is a mighty complicated build your planning.
The UK builders are growing in numbers and can also be found ( along with a list of suppliers) on tearjerkers through the link at the top of the page. I am planning a gathering in the Peak district over the spring bank holiday next year so get building.

Where in the UK are you

[dandan]

hi,
im in Towcester, South Northants.
the wife is expecting & its due in May 09. (had the 12 week scan 2day)
its called Thingey but we are thinking of changeing it when it pops out.
if all goes well i would like to attend the gathering but cant promise anything.

best rgds dan.

no probs Dan, hope everything goes ok with the thingey!
We pass through Toaster (he he) regularly on our way to the out-laws in Basingstoke.

Make some sparks and sawdust but don`t forget to take pictures, it keeps us happy on here!

Regards, Paul

Hi Dan, Happy to welcome another UK builder. I hope you manage to remember the pics as I think this is going to be a very interesting build. Hope you enjoy it as much as I look forward to it. My thingy was called wasname for some time after she was born. My ex wife got really cross about that. Strange things wives

Have you got any build experience yet ? Or are you jumping straight in at the deep end with the Roswell.

Hope to see you in the Peaks next year

Hi Dave,
did a time served apprenticeship in sheet metalwork & fabrication.
also built various bits & pieces for the off-shore, aircraft & petro-chemical
industry before becoming a train driver 9 years ago.
hope the previous knowlage & use of this forum will see me through.
must say Angib's CAD skills are makeing it possible.



also a friend of mine has a very well equiped workshop, lets me use it &
the overtime has dropped off at work.
the wife is somewhat dubious of it all. puts up with alot, bless.

will attempt to do a time-laps series of images of the build from the same camera angle, it may work.
anyway the first stage is to make a profiled buck of the door opening so
i can beat an inward return flange into the skin.
may start it monday.

all the best, dan.

to the playground Dan. Can't wait for you to get started on the Roswell. Something to leave to the "thingy." When it becomes a teenager you will revisit that name many times.

Just teasin and Congrats on the expected one.

[jdarkoregon]

Dan, You are the MAN. Show us all how its done, we can't wait for you to get started.

Have a ball

Hi and welcome.

Building the Roswell, now that's a PROJECT. Wish I had the skills to even contemplate doing that one, can't wait to see the results.

Don't forget to post loads of piccies of the build.

Best of luck.

Hi Dan,

Welcome to the forum.

I assume you've read the Jelly Belly thread and have all the details memorized?

hi Mike,
think Del's build is great.

spent hours trawling through his build pages & posted a reply or 2.
wouldnt even have the notion to take on a build like this without Angib's CAD development.

The site members are great assets & insperation providers.
just hope my contributions may be of some use to others.
promise not to filter out any mistakes i make, others may make the same & there would be nothing to laugh at !

off to work now.
family round for sunday lunch tomorrow.
clearing my corner of the workshop mon & collecting the ali tues.

best rgds Dan.
