Cheers muppet, its all hand cranked for movement (not owning and electrics) the boom lifts good at the moment and ive tested it with a 1.5kg weight so far, but thats only on normal sewing thread
I have looked at treads but i need 160 in total, but undecided if i will use the old style 3873 or the newer 57518 style, but looking for inspiration for the base, but not many going about
