Yes it's the one I posted a couple of months ago, but I have just finished drawing the plans so anyone can understand how to build. I have linked the original post picture to the plans post

I made them as Jpeg files so they should be visible to all, don't understand why you can't.
I have added a PDF version.

All 3 are working for me, mate....I have soldered the screw end of a short column to make it fit better with the thumper.

That is brilliant v-t. I did ask of you the question when you initially put this up but I guess the pm got lost in the ether ???

The soldering thread has been extremely helpful too, so what seemed a bit of a mirage is suddenly a whole lot clearer now.
I seldom take myself seriously....

So, now a Someone knows why some of us made the effort to keep him.

Nice one VT, thanks for sharing.
