G'day from Central Vic, Australia

G'day folks

Some time back I caught the TD bug and am now gearing up for a build in the not too distant future. I have a fabrication business based in country Victoria, a part of which has a 2440 x 1220 commercial CNC router so my strategy for the TD build is to try and acquire all parts first (doors, windows, hinges etc) so that I can produce CAD drawings to cut the panels.

It would be great to have access to CAD drawings if anyone has gone that way in the past as I do not have a clear idea of a design at this stage.

The other issue we seem to be up against in Australia is access to parts. I have only found one TD parts specialist and the range seems to be a bit limited. Pricing also is pretty high so I would be keen to hear from anyone in Australia who has overcome this problem.

A couple of designs I have seen on the internet (and this forum) really appeal. Amongst those is the Vestibule and the Atma Travelear. Hopefully I can emulate one of these designs without stepping on anyone's toes.

Anyway, I hope to be able to pick your brains in the not too distant future.

Cheers

Michael

Thanks again
