I am sure that you, my faithful readers, have noted a slowing in progress. It is not due to a lack of interest or dedication. I still love getting out to the shop and fabricating parts.
But family obligations have increased in recent months and have seriously impinged on the time and, to some extent, the money I have to devote to this project.
I am at a decision point. The next steps involve purchasing some expensive materials and parts, and engaging in intense construction activities. I do not have the time available to devote the time necessary for the next steps. So those expensive parts and materials would have to lay around for an indefinite period of time.
Taking all of that together, I have had to make the painful decision to put this project on indefinite hold. I will be carefully storing the parts I have fabricated so far in hopes that the project can be restarted sometime in the future.
I will also not delete this blog in hopes that its contents can be useful to other builders and that perhaps, one day, the project can be revived.
Thanks for reading.
