I'm following this but probably won't be building one. I'm
one of those folks that just likes to absorb interesting
technology :-)

I was thinking of maybe building a one foot wide unit that clamps to a
bench, mainly to save on storage space. I don't really need to make
that many boxes and pans, so it would be for the joy of building a tool.


I may even build one or more of the hinges if I can ever]
see some "real" sketches. The (what passes for a) dwg on the
patent doesn't quite make it.

A good comparison is a gimbal mechanism, but with the rings reduced to
sectors and half the pivot bearings missing.

So keep the thread going here or let me know if you take it
elsewhere please.

No plans to move have been promulgated.
