Hadrian, I can't stop thinking about new things, making new things and often failing at working out how to build the new things I am thinking about. Thats why I've joined in here. Hopefully you all can help fill in the bits where I am fumbling like a student violin player.
@fullerme Welcome to the forum. Once you have some questions, just post them in the appropriate forum/sub-forum. We all fumble to some degree most of the time.
